In fact the Qu'ran specifically mentions the word "Istamti'" which is based on the root word of ma-ta-a which is to enjoy something (enjoy in the legal sense, as in to partake in). Further, it is widely recognised that misyar type marriages were permitted in the time of the Prophet himself, but they were outlawed by the Caliph Umar who set a precedent above that of the Prophet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8048953.post-67833864808671131032008-07-18T09:27:00.000+01:002008-07-18T09:27:00.000+01:00Maybe not dating but 'modern day relationships' wh...Maybe not dating but 'modern day relationships' which can be as serious as a marriage except they are not cohabiting. <BR/><BR/>Agree that dating is prolly not the right word to use..asikhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13929564609184703033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8048953.post-52587546613158618342008-07-18T08:12:00.000+01:002008-07-18T08:12:00.000+01:00asikha,Although I get what you're saying and have ...asikha,<BR/><BR/>Although I get what you're saying and have no doubt that misyar is used to solve this and other problems, I do think it's a bit of a disservice to those partaking in them if we compare it to dating.<BR/><BR/>It's not necessarily a loophole and requires the same amount of commitment and obligation that a normal marriage would and has different aims too. Dating can potentially be much more casual in basis and aim too.Shakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13657830810835591711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8048953.post-33568943236042426062008-07-17T19:47:00.000+01:002008-07-17T19:47:00.000+01:00misyar to me legitimises two mussies dating, in th...misyar to me legitimises two mussies dating, in the modern sense :D<BR/>And it may be sensible too given if the couples in question cannot afford to move out of their parents' home or move into each other's parents' homes...kinda helps them in that way.
