Assalaamu alykum wa rahmataullahi wa barakatuh. a person has told me
that they believe islamicaly a father should marry his daughter to a
practicing muslim brother before her third menses. if she is not
married after that then it is a sin on the father. i wanted to know
whether this is correct or an innovation. if this is correct what is
the daleel? jazakal'Allah khair
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that
Muhammadis His slave and Messenger.
We did not exactly understand what you meant by marrying off one's
daughter before she gets the third menses. Perhaps what is meant is
the third menses since she reaches puberty and first starts to
menstruate. In any case, there is no evidence for this statement and
it is not true.
However, a guardian should take the initiative to marry off the girl
who is under his guardianship and the earlier the better as this
protects her and keeps her chaste.For more benefit, please refer to
Fataawa 116746and 13907.
It should be noted that it is permissible for the guardian to offer
his daughter in marriage to righteous men as'Umar ibn Al-Khattaabdid
regarding his daughterHafsah.
Allaah Knows best.
