Islomda nikoh qilish juda tavsiya etiladi, erkak va ayollar qodir bo‘lishlari bilan, ya’ni jismonan voyaga yetgan va xotinni boqishga qodir bo‘lganlarida, nikohga shoshilishga undaladilar. Darhaqiqat, u ibodat sifatida ko‘riladi va er-xotin o‘rtasidagi har bir ehtiyojni qondirish sadaqadir.
Marriage is highly recommended in Islam, with men and women being encouraged to marry as soon as they are able (i.e. physically mature and capable of supporting a wife). It is in fact seen as an act of worship, and every act of fulfilment between husband and wife is a charity.
Anas (ra) rivoyat qilishicha, Payg'ambar ﷺ shunday degan: "Bir kishi uylansa, u dinining yarmini ado etgan bo'ladi. Shunday ekan, qolgan yarmi haqida Allohdan qo'rqsin."
Anas (ra) narrated that the Prophet (saw) said, “When a man marries, he has fulfilled half of his deen, so let him fear Allah regarding the remaining half.”.
Nikoh erkak va ayollar o'rtasidagi hamroh bo'lish sifatida qaraladi, sheriklik sifatida emas. Nikohning maqsadlari ikkita:
Marriage is regarded as a companionship between men and women, as opposed to a partnership. The objectives of marriage are two :
Qarama-qarshi jinsdagi kishi bilan birga bo'lishdan zavqlanish.
To enjoy the company of a member of the opposite sex.
Farzandli bo'lish, shu yo'l bilan insoniyat nasli davomiyligini ta'minlash.
To have children thereby guaranteeing the continuity of the human race.
Nikoh shartnomasi nikoh deb ataladi va u erkak bilan ayol o‘rtasidagi shartnoma bo‘lib, to‘g‘ri va haqiqiy bo‘lishi uchun uning barcha shartlari bajarilishi kerak. Bularga quyidagilar kiradi:
The contract of marriage is called nikah, and it is a contract between a man and a woman of which all the conditions must be fulfilled for it to be correct and valid. These include:
Ijob va qabul.
Offer and acceptance.
Majburlash yoki zo'rlash yo'q.
No compulsion or duress.
Ikki guvoh.
Two witnesses.
Valiy amr (kelin-kuyovning vasiy-homiysi).
Waliy amr (guardian of the bride).
Mahr (to'lov, pul yoki boshqa narsa bo'lishi shart emas) erkakdan ayolga to'lanadi.
Payment of mahr (dowry, not necessarily money) from the man to the woman.
Erkak va ayol bir-birlariga mahram emas.
The man and woman are not mahram to each other.
Ayol iddada emas.
The woman is not in her ‘iddah (waiting period).
Erkak va ayol nikoh qilishga haqli (masalan, ayol turmushga chiqmagan).
The man and woman are eligible for marriage (e.g. woman is unmarried).
Musulmon ayol faqat musulmon erkakka turmushga chiqishi kerak, va unga boshqa har qanday e'tiqoddagi erkakka turmushga chiqishi harom. Imon keltirgan ayollarning turmushga chiqishi haqida Alloh (SWT) shunday deydi:
The Muslim woman must only marry a Muslim man, and it is forbidden for her to marry a man of any other belief. Regarding the marriage of believing women, Allah (swt) says,.
"Ular kofirlar uchun halol emas, kofirlar ham ular uchun halol emas" [TMQ 60:10].
“They are not lawful for the disbelievers, nor are the disbelievers lawful for them.” [TMQ 60:10].
Biroq, musulmon erkakka Kitob ahli (yahudiy yoki nasroniy) bo‘lgan nomusli va turmushga chiqmagan nomusli bo‘lgan nomusga uylanishiga ruxsat berilgan. Alloh (SWT) aytadi:
However, it is permitted for the Muslim man to marry a non-Muslim woman from the People of the Book (Jew or Christian), provided that they are chaste and unmarried. Allah (swt) says,.
Sizlar uchun nikohlashish halol qilingan narsalar: faqat iymonli, pok ayollargina emas, balki sizdan oldin kitob berilganlar orasidagi pok ayollar ham bor — agar ularga mahrlarini bersangiz va pokdaman deb iffatlilikni istasangiz, fahsh ishga yoki yashirin oshnalikka berilmasangiz. [TMQ 5:5].
“Lawful unto you in marriage are not only the chaste women who are believers, but chaste women among the people of the Book revealed before your time, when you give them their due dowers and desire chastity, not lewdness nor secret intrigues.” [TMQ 5:5].
Nikoh doirasida Shariat erkak va ayol zimmasiga turli xil vazifa va majburiyatlarni belgilab qo‘ygan. Ular bir-birini mukammal to‘ldiradi, shu sababli erkak va ayol o‘rtasidagi hayot uyg‘unlik va osoyishtalikka to‘la bo‘ladi.
Within the framework of marriage, the Shari‘ah has defined different roles and duties that men and women have. They complement each other perfectly, such that the life between man and woman is filled with harmony and tranquillity.
