Summary
Marriage is a recommended sunnah, and this ruling relays the explanation of Dr. Fathi Yakan on its responsibilities. Before marriage, the intention should be for the sake of Allah, to lower the gaze and protect one's honour, and a spouse should be chosen for religion and character rather than wealth, beauty or status alone. After marriage, the husband as head of the family should treat his wife kindly and warmly. The relationship should also include harmony of thought, spirit and feeling, not merely fulfilling desire.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Perkahwinan merupakan Sunnah Rasulullah SAW yang dianjurkan berdasarkan nas al-quran dan hadis, inilah fitrah yang dilalui oleh manusia dalam membina kehidupan dengan sempuna dan bahagia.
