In the view of all Muslim scholars (whether Sunni or Shia), there is no established age when a female can be married off. In light of this, a Muslim man is allowed to wed girls who are significantly younger than nine, and even to engage in sexual activity with them, with an exemption of penetration of the vagina until the girl is old enough to manage it. When the preterm girl reaches the age of nine, though, it doesn’t matter if she is physically competent to handle penetration, because her husband is still permitted to do it.
We will now cite some of Islam’s finest thinkers and authorities to support all we just said, lest we come under suspicion of inventing it all up. We start with the following quotation:
“Muslim schools of jurisprudence UNANIMOUSLY allow the marriage of young girls, even if they were still babies in the cradle. But intercourse cannot occur until the girl can withstand penetration.” (Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani, Fath al-Bari, volume 11, p, 25)
When a precocious youth is prepared to have sex, in the words of noted Muslim scholar an-Nawawi in Sahih Muslim, “for sex, it is permissible at any time given there is no harm to the girl and both the husband and the girls’ guardian approve.” In the words of Ahmad ibn Hanbal, “If they don’t agree, she is forced to join her husband at 9 years.” (Sharh Muslim, volume 3, p. 577)
In addition, check this certified ruling:
I would like to know whether there is a set age for marriage in Islam for men and women? I hope you can explain with reference to the Qur’aan and saheeh hadeeths.

Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
ISLAM DOES NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC AGE FOR MARRIAGE, either for the husband or for the wife. Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And for such of your women as despair of menstruation, if ye doubt, their period (of waiting) shall be three months, along with those who have it not”
[al-Talaaq 65:4].
Al-Sa‘di said: “along with those who have it [menses] not” means minors, those who have not yet started to menstruate. Adult women who have never menstruated at all are like those who “despair of menstruation” (i.e., have passed menopause); their ‘iddah is three months. End quote.
Tafseer al-Sa‘di, p. 870
The Prophet married ‘Aa’ishah when she was six years old and the marriage was consummated when she was nine years old. Narrated by al-Bukhaari (4840) and Muslim (1422).
Ibn Qudaamah said in al-Sharh al-Kabeer, 7/386:
With regard to females, the father may give his minor, virgin daughter who has not yet reached the age of nine in marriage, AND THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE OF OPINION CONCERNING THAT, if he gives her in marriage to someone who is compatible. Ibn al- Mundhir said: All of those scholars from whom we acquired knowledge UNANIMOUSLY AGREED that it is permissible for a father to give his minor daughter in marriage if he arranges her to someone who is compatible, and it is permissible for him to do that EVEN IF SHE IS RELUCTANT. End quote…
Fourthly:
A man should not consummate marriage with his young bride until she is physically able to bear intercourse. This varies from one time, place and environment to another. (Islam Question and Answer, General Supervisor: Shaykh Muhammad Saalih al-Munajjid, 146882: Is there a set age for marriage in Islam? https://islamqa.info/en/146882; bold and capital emphasis ours)
And:
Secondly:
Marrying a young girl before she reaches the age of adolescence is permitted in sharee’ah; indeed it was narrated that there was scholarly consensus on this point.
- Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And those of your women as have passed the age of monthly courses, for them the ‘Iddah (prescribed period), if you have doubt (about their periods), is three months; and for those who have no courses [(i.e. they are still immature) their ‘Iddah (prescribed period) is three months likewise”
[al-Talaaq 65:4]
In this verse we see that Allaah has made the ‘iddah in the case of divorce of a girl who does not have periods – because she is young and has not yet reached puberty – three months. This clearly indicates that Allaah has made this a valid marriage.
- It was narrated from ‘Aa’ishah that the Prophet married her when she was six years old, he consummated the marriage with her when she was nine and she stayed with him for nine
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 4840; Muslim, 1422)
The Prophet married ‘Aa’ishah when she was six years old and consummated the marriage when she was nine.”
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari and Muslim; Muslim says ‘seven years’)
The fact that it is permissible to marry a young girl does not mean that it is permissible to have intercourse with her; rather that should not be done until she is able for it. For that reason the Prophet delayed the consummation of his marriage to ‘Aa’ishah. Al-Nawawi said: With regard to the wedding-party of a young married girl at the time of consummating the marriage, if the husband and the guardian of the girl agree upon something that will not cause harm to the young girl, then that may be done. If they disagree, then Ahmad and Abu ‘Ubayd say that one [sic] a girl reaches the age of nine then the marriage may be consummated even without her consent, but that does not apply in the case of who is younger. Maalik, al-Shaafa’i and Abu Haneefah said: the marriage may be consummated when the girl is able for intercourse, which varies from one girl to another, SO NO AGE LIMIT CAN BE SET. THIS IS THE CORRECT VIEW. There is NOTHING in the hadeeth of ‘Aa’ishah TO SET AN AGE LIMIT, or to forbid that in the case of a girl WHO IS ABLE FOR IT BEFORE THE AGE OF NINE, or to allow it in the case of a girl WHO IS NOT ABLE FOR IT AND HAS REACHED THE AGE OF NINE. Al-Dawoodi said: ‘Aa’ishah was reached physical maturity (at the time when her marriage was consummated).
Sharh Muslim, 9/206
It is preferable for a guardian not to marry off his daughter when she is still young unless there is a valid reason for that.
Al-Nawawi said:
It should be noted that al-Shaafa’i and his companions said: It is preferable for fathers and grandfathers not to marry off a virgin until she reaches the age of puberty and they ask her permission, lest she end up in a marriage that she dislikes. What they said does not go against the hadeeth of ‘Aa’ishah, because what they meant is that they should not marry her off before she reaches puberty if there is no obvious interest to be served that they fear will be missed out on if they delay it, as in the hadeeth of ‘Aa’ishah. In that case it is preferable to go ahead with the marriage because the father is enjoined to take care of his child’s interests and not to let a good opportunity slip away.
And Allaah knows best.
(IslamQA, 2002)
Pay close attention to the portion where it indicates that a man can have sex with an underage girl who has turned nine years old, regardless of whether or not she can tolerate vaginal penetration. He is able to sleep with his child spouse regardless of whether she happens to be younger than nine.
Finally, here is another fatwa clarifying that child marriages are allowed:
Firstly:
There is NOTHING in sharee‘ah to stipulate a particular age of marriage for the man or woman. The scholars are UNANIMOUSLY AGREED that marriage of a minor girl is permissible if her father gives her in marriage to someone who is compatible.
The Qur’an and Sunnah indicate that marriage of a minor [a female who has not yet reached puberty] is valid, AND NO PARTICULAR AGE IS STIPULATED FOR THAT.
Ibn Qudaamah said: If a man gives his virgin daughter in marriage to someone who is compatible, then the marriage is valid. … With regard to a virgin who is a minor, there is no difference of scholarly opinion concerning that. Ibn al-Mundhir said: All the scholars from whom we acquired knowledge are unanimously agreed that it is permissible for a father to give his minor daughter in marriage, provided that he offer her in marriage to someone who is compatible, even if she objects and refuses. The fact that it is permissible to give a minor girl in marriage is indicated by the verse in which Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): “And those of your women as have passed the age of monthly courses, for them the Iddah (prescribed period), if you have doubts (about their periods), is three months, and for those who have no courses ((i.e. they are still immature)…” [at-Talaaq 65:4]. So the ‘iddah for one who has not started to menstruate is three months, and the ‘iddah of three months can only be required in the case of talaaq (divorce) or annulment of marriage. This indicates that (the girl who is a minor) may be married and divorced, and her consent is not essential.
‘Aa’ishah said: The Prophet married me when I was six years old and consummated the marriage with me when I was nine. Agreed upon. It is known that at that age she would not be one of those whose permission would be taken into account. al-Athram narrated that Qudaamah ibn Maz’oon married the daughter of az-Zubayr when she began to menstruate, and something was said to him. He said: If I die, the daughter of az-Zubayr will inherit from me, and if I live, she will be my wife. And ‘Ali gave his daughter Umm Kalthoom in marriage when she was a minor to ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab.
End quote from al-Mughni, 7/30
Shaykh Ibn Baaz said, commenting on the minimum legal age for marriage in some countries…
To proceed
The newspaper ar-Riyadh (issue no. 4974) published a report entitled “Family Law proposal in the Emirates”, in which it stated that the proposal is based on Islamic sharee‘ah. In the article it says: “With regard to marriage contracts, the law states that the boy should be no younger than eighteen years and the girl should be no younger than sixteen, and a penalty of no less than one thousand dirhams and no more than five thousand is to be imposed on anyone who goes against this law, so long as the court has not decided otherwise in cases where preservation of honour and dignity is sought. It is also not permitted for anyone who have passed the age of sixty years to marry the [sic] without the permission of the court, especially if the age difference between the two parties is greater than half the age of the older of the two.”
Because this is contrary to what Allah has prescribed, I would like to point out the truth.
There is no upper or lower limit on the age for marriage; this is indicated by the Qur’an and Sunnah.
The Qur’an and Sunnah encourage marriage without stipulating a particular age. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“They ask your legal instruction concerning women, say: Allah instructs you about them, and about what is recited unto you in the Book concerning the orphan girls whom you give not the prescribed portions (as regards Mahr and inheritance) and yet whom you desire to marry”
[an-Nisa’ 4:124].
So it is permissible to marry an orphan girl, who is one who has not yet reached the age of puberty; her maximum age is fifteen years according to the more correct opinion, although she may reach puberty before that. The Prophet said: “The orphan girl should be asked for permission with regard to her marriage; if she remains silent, that is her permission, but if she refuses then it is not permissible to force her into marriage.” The Prophet married ‘Aa’ishah when she was six or seven years old and consummated the marriage with her when she was nine, and his actions are legislation for this ummah. The Sahaabah also married women when they were minors and when they were adults, without specifying any particular age. So no one has the right to introduce laws other than those which were prescribed by Allah and His Messenger, or to change the laws that were prescribed by Allah and His Messenger, because those laws are sufficient. Whoever thinks otherwise has wronged himself and has introduced laws for the people for which Allah has not given permission. And Allah says, criticising this kind of people (interpretation of the meaning):
“Or have they partners with Allah (false gods), who have instituted for them a religion which Allah has not allowed?”
[ash-Shoora 42:21].
And the Prophet said: “Whoever introduces into this matter of ours anything that is not part of it will have it rejected.” Agreed upon. According to a version narrated by Muslim: “Whoever introduces an action that is not part of this matter of ours will have it rejected.” Al- Bukhaari narrated it in a mu‘allaq report.
I remind those who are doing this thing of the words of Allah (interpretation of the meaning):
“And let those who oppose the Messengers (Muammad SAW) commandment (i.e. his Sunnah legal ways, orders, acts of worship, statements, etc.) (among the sects) beware, lest some Fitnah (disbelief, trials, afflictions, earthquakes, killing, overpowered by a tyrant, etc.) befall them or a painful torment be inflicted on them”
[an-Noor 24:63].
Whatever befalls a nation or individuals of trials, blocking people from the path of Allah, epidemics, wars, or other calamities, the cause of that is what people have done of things that are contrary to the laws of Allah, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And whatever of misfortune befalls you, it is because of what your hands have earned. And He pardons much”
[ash-Shoora 42:30].
Allah has described what befell some past nations of punishment and doom because of their going against His command. Let those who are wise pay heed and learn from that.
It is not sufficient to claim to be following Islamic sharee‘ah when there are things that go against it. Allah criticised the Jews for doing that when He said (interpretation of the meaning):
“Then do you believe in a part of the Scripture and reject the rest? Then what is the recompense of those who do so among you, except disgrace in the life of this world, and on the Day of Resurrection they shall be consigned to the most grievous torment. And Allah is not unaware of what you do”
[al-Baqarah 2:85].
I also remind the scholars to fear Allah and to do what is enjoined upon them of offering sincere advice to those who are in authority by explaining the truth, urging them to follow it and warning them against disobeying it. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“O mankind! Fear your Lord (by keeping your duty to Him and avoiding all evil), and fear a Day when no father can avail aught for his son, nor a son avail aught for his father. Verily, the Promise of Allah is true, let not then this (worldly) present life deceive you, nor let the chief deceiver (Satan) deceive you about Allah”
[Luqmaan 31:33].
May Allah help us all to speak the truth, accept it and act upon it; may He unite the Muslims in guidance and ruling in accordance with His law in all things, for He is able to do that. May Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and Companions.
End quote from Majmoo‘ Fataawa ash-Shaykh Ibn Baaz, 4/125
Thus it is clear that limiting the age for marriage is something that is CONTRARY TO SHAREE’AH, SO THERE IS NO OBLIGATION TO OBEY IT.
If the state wants to protect girls from being exploited by their guardians and being married to husbands they do not want, then it should follow the more correct of the two opinions about asking for the consent of a virgin girl; this opinion states that her consent is a condition of marriage. This is the view of Abu Haneefah. And if a girl’s guardian gives her in marriage without her consent, then she has the right of annulment.
(IslamQA, 2012)
This takes me to the topic of my text. In his writings, the late Iranian Ayatollah Khomeini forbade vaginal intercourse with a child bride who was younger than nine, “regardless of whether the marriage is temporary or permanent. BUT all other pleasures including groping with lust, masturbation, thighing are permissible, EVEN TO A BABY.” (Ayatollah Khomeini, Tahrir al- Wasila, Volume 2, p. 216)
In fact, Muhammad practiced the act of thighing:
Meaning of Mufaakhathah
Fatwa Date: Rabee’ Al-Aakhir 5, 1427 / 4-5-2006
Question
Asalamualaykumwarahmatullahiwabarakatahu can you explain to me the thing called “thighing” also pronounced “mufa
Answer…
The term Mufaakhathah means to have foreplay with the wife in between her thighs. It is reported in one narration that when the Prophet wanted to enjoy one of his wives who was in menstruation, he would put a piece of cloth on her vagina (i.e. cover it). [Ibn Maajah].
The author of Faydh Al-Qadeer interpreted the expression ‘if he wanted to enjoy to mean having all permissible foreplay but avoiding the vagina [or the anus], like in between her thighs (i.e. Mufaakhathah).
Allaah Knows best.
Here is the narration cited in the above source:
The Book of Purification and its Sunnah
It was narrated from Mu’awiyah bin Abu Sufyan that:
He asked Umm Habibah, the wife of the Prophet: “What did you used to do with the Messenger of Allah when you were menstruating?” She said: “If it was at the beginning of the period when the bleeding is heavy, we would tie the waist-wrapper tightly around our thighs, then lie down with the Messenger of Allah.”
Grade: SAHIH (Darussalam)
English reference: Vol. 1, Book 1, Hadith 638
Arabic reference: Book 1, Hadith 681
The following report gives us an idea of why Muhammad had his wives tie a wrapper around their thighs:
The Book of Purification and its Sunnah
It was narrated from Anas that:
The Jews would not sit with a menstruating woman in a house, nor eat with her, nor drink with her. That was mentioned to the Messenger of Allah, then Allah revealed the words: “They ask you concerning menstruation. Say: that is a harmful thing, therefore keep away from women during menses.” The Messenger of Allah said: “Do everything except sexual intercourse.”
Grade: SAHIH (Darussalam)
English reference: Vol. 1, Book 1, Hadith 644
Arabic reference: Book 1, Hadith 687
“Do everything except sexual intercourse” — this means that, when the wife is on her menses, Muhammad did everything that the Ayatollah stated is permissible, such as groping, thighing, masturbation, etc. (SearchTruth.com, 2004)
Now, what this means is that, with the exception of penetration of the vagina, Muhammad had groped and “thighed” Aisha. Aisha would also perform masturbation until Muhammad died around nine years later — this is when Aisha became a widow at the age of eighteen.
As established here, there is no Islamic source which mentions puberty as a requirement for a girl to be married off. At any age, even at one day old, a girl can be married off. However, until her body becomes physically big enough for her to not die from penetration, the man cannot penetrate her. However, in the meantime, he is still able to conduct other sexual acts with her.
To hell with all these complex rules and regulations!
Just FUCK them!
Being so tolerant and inclusive, we liberals support islamic pedophiles!
(Afterall; I showered with my own daughter once, and sniff & grope young tikes all the time.)
We also tolerate you peace-lovers attacking Jewish & MAGA students on campus
As an added bonus, we liberals also encourage trans pole-dancers to groom 1st graders, and if a trans punk rapes a 15 year old girl in Loudoun County, we arrest the father – certainly not the rapist (we just wisk him off to another school so he can do it again.)
So when we liberals say we’re “for the children”, we mean it . . . just not the way backward conservatives agree with.
I have no problem with that.
A girl in Grammer School marred toa old man in his 70’s is way too much
Who in the heck is this Allah? Is he that created us in his own image?
Allah is not God. There is a hadith that records that the being who encountered Mohammed crushed his chest, which is typical of trance mediumship, and not of Biblical angelic encounters. Given that mediumship is forbidden in the Bible, and that, in Acts 16:16-19, Paul’s exorcism of a woman who was channelling a demon resulted in her loss of her psychic abilities, that tells us that Satan is the likely provenance of Mohammed’s prophecies. There is also an interesting article on the Raymond Ibrahim website “Zakaria Botros – 87 and still boldly confronting Islam”, which details an occasion when Mohammed was “ridden” by supernatural beings, and the pain that he was in afterwards, again verified from the hadiths. Not something one could imagine God endorsing.
In our society, the description in this article is just perversion.
C’mon, give Mo some credit. He married Aisha at 6 but waited until she was 9 to do the horizontal bop. Wish I had such self-control when it comes to dieting.
Her real name is lost to history.
Mohammed gave her the onomatopoeic name “Aisha” because of the involuntary noisse she made as he thrusted into her…
AYYIISHAAH!
AYYIISHAAH!
_____________________
The clueless perverse lack the sense of shame. Ergo, Mohammed.
A faint echo of this shameless cluelessness is found in the “trans story hour”s which the trendy left foist on America’s children. Left unchecked, it will grow until more children have onomatopoeic names thrust upon them……”Oofuf” and “Aargh” among them.
* “Monica” was a real name; Bubba didn’t name her onomatopoeaically for being a hummer, as rumored.
One scholar on Islam, Robert Spencer, wrote that the Islamic tradition records that Muhammad consummated his marriage with (i.e., raped) Aisha when she was nine, and the resultant fact that child marriage is accepted in wide swaths of the Islamic world. Child marriage has abundant attestation in Islamic tradition and law.”
Muslims view their Prophet Muhammad and their take him as the perfect module to follow as an example of how to live their own lives.
Therefore, male Muslim marriage of an adult man to a young girl who is really only a child of common in the world of Islam. One of the “reasons” for this female child abuse in Islam is because of the corrupt and perverse wickedness in the hearts of men. This is seen and described in the Bible with reads “The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked; who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9. [N.K.J.V.]
Furthermore, another “reason” girl/child marriages occur with middle aged and even old men is because the founder and prophet of Islam Muhammad married a child. Muslims throughout history as well as in current times actually view Muhammad as a “perfect man” and a “great example for them to follow.”
This well might prove the old saying to be true .The saying is that “Evil is always looking for an excuse.”
The Islamic practice of an adult male Muslim having a marriage with a little girl who is only a child is part of Islam since all Muslim admire the prophet of Islam, Muhammad and attempt to live like him and he did marry a 9 year old girl.”.
Nevertheless this heinous Islam tradition is accepted as “normal “in most of the Islamic world. Therefore, this may serve as an example of how the influence of Islam is able to warp the cogitation of the human mind to the extent that a person who is a Muslim might not be able to understand the obvious difference between right and wrong.
Such an awful thing as not having the discerning mental power to seethe clear difference is described in the Bible. For in Isaiah 5:20. “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil…” [N.K.J.V.]
Just couldn’t get through the rest of your article after first few paragraphs. Islam is a lie! And anything these so called scholars have to say is a justification for their pedo lies. Mohammad is likely a fictional character. Everything about him is a lie. Please see Dr Jay Smith, Al-Fadi, Cira International, Robert Spencer, David Woods. Islam is bondage/slavery and entire generations have been led to slaughter and damnation for eternity because of some sick twisted bastards lusting over power & control. I’d like to say damn them to hell but there’s still time to save them. Jesus is Lord & King!
In the matter of females, whatever their age, muslim men can satisfy their impulses at any time, anyway and with whichever – especially the most ‘religious’ (i.e. powerful), ones – and the lead comes from on high:
Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini raped a 4-year-old girl.
An excerpt from ‘Hal Ataaka Hadeeth ur-Raafidah?’ by the late Sheikh Abu Mus’abaz-Zarqaawi
“The author of the book ‘For Allah, Then For History’ [1] mentions to us an event that took place before his very eyes, when al-Khomeini [2] was living in Iraq, [i.e. before 1978].and was visiting an Iranian individual by the name of Sayyid Sahib.
He says: ‘Sayyid Sahib was joyous with our visit, and we arrived at his house around the time of Dhuhr. So, he prepared for us a lavish dinner, and called some of his relatives, who came to see us, and the house became crowded in celebration of our presence.
Sayyid Sahib then requested that we spend that night at his home, to which the Imam agreed. When it was night time, we were given our supper, and the guests would take the Imam’s hand and kiss it, and they would ask him questions, with him answering their questions. When it was time to sleep, the guests had all left, except for the inhabitants of the house. Al-Khomeini laid his eyes on a young girl who, despite being only four or five years of age, was very beautiful. So, the Imam requested from her father, Sayyid Sahib, that he spend the night with her in order to enjoy her. Her father happily agreed, and Imam al-Khomeini spent the night with the girl in his arms, and we could hear her crying and screaming.’”

Don’t, please don’t tell me that islam is a religion, it desecrates the very concept of religion: it’s a totalitarian ideology masquerading as a religion.
