Septic Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I've answered your question. The reason i didn't answer was because, as you now know, Penguin answered the question. Bear in mind that this is a very deep debate in itself but the authority is clear on the matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Pardon my ignorance, but I was going to ask what (p.b.u.h/t) meant, but I did a quick Googly search, and now I know. P.b.u.y. (assuming that doesn't offend you!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Septic Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Ah its not ignorance Andrew. A lot of people ask that. Peace be upon him, upon you, upon them. Its just a way to show respect to the Prophets, his companions and those who have died. Salamwalekum, the Islamic greeting, means "peace be upon you" Essentially P.B.U.Y as you state Blimey I'm gonna be shipped off to Guantanamo at this rate. I always get involved in these debates and end up sounding like a preacher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 As long as you don't have a bearded wife, then we'll get along fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Septic Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Lol no I dont have a bearded wife! Haven't seen my gf in a while though...I hope she's not let her standards slip *shudders* Ironically, I probably have less body hair than some women do on their arms.

CJ Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I've answered your question. The reason i didn't answer was because, as you now know, Penguin answered the question. Bear in mind that this is a very deep debate in itself but the authority is clear on the matter. I've replied I am not sure whether there should be a deep debate TBH. Either Islam is against child marriages or it isn't. If it isn't and is happy with 9 year olds being married then there is something fundamentally wrong with your religion. Please note this is not a rant against the case of Mohamed marrying but of a case that happened just a year or so ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please note this is not a rant against the case of Mohamed marrying but of a case that happened just a year or so ago. Like I said in the other thread, it contradicts Islam as opposed to complying with it. The sanctity of marriage and the duty to uphold and respect both sides is quite enormous. The women has many rights over the man (and vice versa) so marriage at such an age would make it almost impossible to adhere to the aforementioned Islamic principles regarding marriage.
