Course Description: It is commonly said that about 500 of the Qur’an’s verses relate to practical matters. These are referred to as āyāt al-aḥkām or “legal verses.” The study of these verses is an important sub-genre of Qur’anic exegesis, and understanding them is key to knowing our duty before God. In this course, we shall make a systematic study of these verses, taking the help of generations of jurists and exegetes, to better understand what our Lord wants of us. In part 5 of this course we cover 14 verses on the following topics related to marriage:
| 90 – Laws of covering made lenient for elderly women
91 – Various forms of sexual enjoyment permitted with spouse 92 – Breastfeeding (1 and 2) 93 – Wages for Breastfeeding 94 – Marriage prohibited between fornicators and chaste believers 95- Proposing to a Woman during her ʿiddah 96 – Questions about women answered 97 – Exhortation to treat one’s wife kindly and with patience… 98 – Obligation for Muslim women to wear the jilbāb 99 – The Verse of Takhyīr (Wives Granted the Choice to be Divorced) 100 – Admonishment for the Wives of the Prophet 101 – Adopted Children are not One’s Children 102 – Marriage to One’s Adopted Son’s Ex-wife is Permitted 103 – Exceptions to Marriage Laws for the Prophet 104 – Etiquette of entering the Prophet’s home |
