Finally The World Will Start Shaming Arabs For Cousin Marriages 🤢🤢🤢

[Internet Nomad]

Islam does not discourage marriage among cousins. But Imam Shafi and Imam Ahmad, the two leading scholars of the Sunni school of thought dislike cousin marriage and have declared it as makruh. Similarly, some other scholars like Imam Ghazali have also discouraged cousin marriage.

Imam ash-Shafi’ee (may Allah have mercy upon him) said:

لَيْسَ مِنْ قَوْمٍ لا يُخْرِجُونَ نِسَاءَهُمْ إِلَى رِجَالِ غَيْرِهِمْ فِي التَّزْوِيجِ ، وَلا رِجَالَهُمْ إِلَى نِسَاءِ غَيْرِهِمْ فِي التَّزْوِيجِ ، إِلا جَاءَ أَوْلادُهُمْ حَمْقَى
“There is not a group of people who do not bring forth their women to marry men other than their own men, nor do their men go forth to marry women other than their own, except their children will be fools (i.e. born with a mental defect)” [Adaab ash-Shaafi’ee wa Manaaqibuhu (pg. 99) with a Saheeh chain of narration]

Imam al-Maawardi (may Allah have mercy upon him) said: “They (i.e. the Arab) used to choose or the likes of this situation marrying those who are distantly related and are strangers (to each other). They saw that this is more conducive for childbirth and excellent for the creation (of a newborn). They used to avoid marrying family and relatives. They saw that it was harmful for the creation of the child and its birth” End translation. [Adab ad-Dunya wad-Deen (pg. 173)]

In sum, it is permissible to marry first cousins in Islam and there is little harm with that. In terms of continuous inbreeding of cousins, then it is from the Adab (etiquette) of those before us to avoid this out of fear of birth defects. It should be noted however, that this is simply an Adab and not a prohibition. Everything is in the Hand of Allah, the Exalted and Sublime.

Now what did our ancestors feel about cousin marriage

There's no reason to get with your cousin in this day and age with how connected the world is. The average Westerner can potentially come into contact with thousands of women and there's nothing your cousin has that they don't have. It's for sure halal but I feel like only lazy people who don't want to put in the work to get to know a woman would instead sit in their chair and reach over for someone closer.

Why are you posting these two homosexuals and more importantly why do you watch them?

 

[caanoshaah]

@balanbalis but we are kind of lumped with arabs and there culture. Some believe we lost our culture to arabs.

I’m so glad I ain’t from sudan cuz wtf is this …… first it’s jarring they’re Maadow and speak Arabic second they got all the foolery

 

[JamalFarah]

Interesting to see the older lady speak out against it, but the younger man being for it. We know from a historical perspective that our cultures had sayings about the virtues of finding a wife far from one’s own place and tribe.

There is a noticeable Arabization, culturally, of Somalis when it comes to dress and also, to some degree, our values, which is a sad thing. I’d say most of those who are shouting about the virtue of cousin marriage do so because subconsciously “the Arabs do it, and what the Arabs do is good, so we have to emulate it.”

 

[Barni]

Here you guys coping again, if believe cousin marriage is halal and your cousin is your mahram. Then you don’t get to act all disgusted b¡tch it’s your fcking religion.

 

[livinlavish]

Just because marrying your cousin isn't haram doesn't make it right I remember I was arguing with this one afghan guy and he was like so what if I marry my cousin "it's part of islam" like wtf some of these people genuinely believe that is part of the deen

You are 100% right. Your way of writing it out is elegant and you dont bash whoever does practice it. I was referring to this person who is calling it “disgusting” and how they should be “shamed”. Our own beloved prophet married his cousin does that mean he is disgusting? Thats what I was referring to sis

The prophet lived in a different time so it was acceptable and permissible. The allowance is not a should. Many of the allowances Allah has made were made to make islam easier to follow for muslims since we are imperfect, was it not? We can still criticise the practice as it's still a choice.

U know the first time i watched them i thought they were together loool even the comments would ask if they were a couple. Idk if ur just insulting them or u thought they were too lol

 

[GreenTapijt]

No idc they should be shamed Imagine inviting your family members and one of then is eyeing your daughter for marriage. Disgusting people.

Tbh I haven't seen close relatives except for UK ones and they're qashin. So I have no clue that stuff goes down.

 

[Taintedlove]

There is absolutely no reason to marry your cousin in these days of hyperglobalisation. You can even mmarry a different ethnic group as long as they are Muslim. Bringing up what the prophet did in his life is irrelevant to this discussion because he was still a product of his time. People of that era could only come into contact with their relatives.

Also i think its due to how few muslims there were back then. Lots of rules were made to increase the muslim population size. Allowing the marriage of christian and jewish women and muslim men, concubines, four wives and cousin marriages. All of this leads to having more kids. Nowadays most muslim countries have millions of people which was the goal.

Yeah, like men are allowed to marry non-muslim women, but many Muslim parents would be disgusted at the idea
