Did the Prophet Muhammad Marry Maria? | Concubines in Islam series, part 8 | Dr. Shabir Ally

Dr. Shabir Ally explores arguments that the Prophet Muhammad married Maria. He says that marriage practices were rudimentary, and it wasn't always clear to people if a man had married a woman or taken her as a concubine. The Prophet was instructed to follow the dictates of the Quran as were other Muslims; the Quran says enslaved women should be married off. Moreover, the Quran instructs people to set slaves free, and the Prophet is reported to have encouraged this as well. The Prophet freed two captives of war and they married him. We also know that the Prophet was foremost in doing good. It is more likely that the Prophet would have freed Maria -- if she was even enslaved to begin with -- and married her.

Question is on consent and number. I believe Classical Islamists were wrong when they said no consent were required ..Islam states that Muslims should treat each other equally and also Non-Muslims. Slaves should not be oppressed and should not be forced to do anything

[@Hamza00011]

Jazakallah Dr Shabir. This was a great response

[@RebecaIslam]

Since Allah says men are not to marry sisters, and Rasulullah gave away one sister, seems like he actually married Maria, as otherwise he could have had both the sisters as slaves

[@fahmidalutfullah361]

Great, I was wondering about this matter and your question and answer helped to clarify it. Thanks!

[@bhagalpurnews4105]

I really respect the honesty of you both. Great scholars and noble human beings 👏

Find me a book older than 150 years that criticized Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. marriage to Hazrat Aisha R.A. or Maria R.A.

[@ahmfarooq1823]

Very reasonable discussion of an interesting topic. May Allah bless you.

[@tariqmahmood6448]

Such a long answer but yet real answer was still not answered

[@BigZhumbe]

Teaching slaves good manner does that mean all slaves had bad manners so they have to be taught good manners. And what is meant by good manner???

[@ilovemycountryindia5513]

Allama Shibli Naumani and Shah Waliullah and so many Biblical historian narrates Prophet Muhammad married with Mariya Al-Qibtiyya.

MashaAllah ❤

Hello Saffiya, can you please ask Dr Shabir why If Mohammed was married to Maria the Copt, do we find reports of Hafsa and Aisha inducing Mohammed to swear that Maria is haram for him. Can a husband make his wife haram and withhold her marital privileges?

[@bf6724]

Maria was not one of the wives of the Prophet (PBUH), she was not called the Mother of the Believers, as he usually does with his wives. She was called Umm Walad (the boy's mother) They mean the son of the Prophet.

[@obaidshz]

Of course, the Prophet Mohammed had married with Maria and had gotten a boy named Ebraham (Ebrahim). The lessons we should learn here are:

[@LeoMessi_22]

The most Authentic opinion is that Maria al-Qibtiyyah was not a wife of the Prophet ﷺ, she was a slave-concubine and she remain that way until he ﷺ died.

[@mrt445]

Do you have to say "peace be upon him" every single time you say hisl name?

[@sadatulislam7802]

We should say "Peace be upon him" whenever we talk about Prophet Muhammad (PBUH),

[@indram5384]

How can a prophet Muhammad, do that, isn't that haram? This is not an example for a prophet to behave in this manner.

[@omarsalim9562]

I don't understand this idea of marry her
