أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ دُرُسْتَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْمَعِيلَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی أَنَّ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا تُنْکَحُ الثَّيِّبُ حَتَّی تُسْتَأْذَنَ وَلَا تُنْکَحُ الْبِکْرُ حَتَّی تُسْتَأْمَرَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ کَيْفَ إِذْنُهَا قَالَ إِذْنُهَا أَنْ تَسْکُتَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3273
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “A previously married woman should not be married until her permission has been sought, and a virgin should not be married until her consent is sought.” They said: “Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم how does she give permission?” He said: “Her permission is if she keeps silent.” (Sahih)
