Описание: Modern Family Issues with Shaykh Waleed Basyouni 003

"Marriage in Islam: Why Mutual Understanding Matters", the third khartirah from Shaykh Waleed Basyouni from taraweeh prayer 2025.

*1. Evolution of Social Norms and Their Influence on Islamic Jurisprudence (Fiqh)*
The contemporary societal transformations necessitate the adaptation of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) to address emerging issues.
The evolving moral codes and societal values necessitate the scholarly engagement with novel challenges. The ongoing debates surrounding gender and marriage underscore the imperative for clarity within the Islamic framework.

*2. The Pillars of a Successful Marriage: Mutual Understanding and Cooperation*
While Islamic laws provide a foundation, marital success hinges on cooperation and mutual respect. Legal agreements and contracts serve as valuable tools, but they alone cannot sustain a healthy marriage without emotional and practical understanding.
Preparing clear agreements prior to marriage can effectively mitigate future conflicts.

*3. Financial Responsibilities in Marriage: Obligations and Considerations*
Husbands are bound by Islamic law to provide for their wives based on their financial capacity and cultural norms. Financial support should be grounded in principles established by the Quran and societal standards.
A husband’s financial resources determine the extent of his obligations, and extravagant demands are discouraged.

*4. Divorce and Financial Compensation: A Complex Issue*
Divorce is recognized as a multifaceted issue in Islam, encompassing both financial and emotional consequences. If a husband hinders his wife’s employment or education, he may be liable for financial compensation upon divorce.
The amount of financial support granted post-divorce can vary depending on factors such as the duration of the marriage and the wife’s level of financial independence. In Islamic countries, courts may provide financial support for a period ranging from two to five years, considering the specific circumstances of each case.

*5. Child Support and Custody: Separate Obligations*
Child support is distinct from financial compensation to the ex-wife. If the mother assumes custody, the father is obligated to cover the expenses associated with raising the child.
If the wife contributed to the growth and success of a business during their marriage, her contributions should be acknowledged and compensated.

*6. The Complexity of Islamic Divorce: A Comprehensive Overview*
*Islamic Divorce: A Comprehensive Process*
Islamic divorce is not a straightforward financial transaction but a structured process that upholds principles of fairness and justice.
The speaker strongly advises against relying solely on state laws in divorce proceedings and emphasizes the depth and comprehensive nature of Islamic rulings.
Divorce is a significant financial and emotional burden, and it should not be undertaken lightly.
