أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها – ‏{‏وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَنْ لاَ تُقْسِطُوا فِي الْيَتَامَى فَانْكِحُوا مَا طَابَ لَكُمْ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ‏}‏ قَالَتْ هِيَ الْيَتِيمَةُ فِي حَجْرِ وَلِيِّهَا، فَيَرْغَبُ فِي جَمَالِهَا وَمَالِهَا، وَيُرِيدُ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَهَا بِأَدْنَى مِنْ سُنَّةِ نِسَائِهَا، فَنُهُوا عَنْ نِكَاحِهِنَّ، إِلاَّ أَنْ يُقْسِطُوا لَهُنَّ فِي إِكْمَالِ الصَّدَاقِ، وَأُمِرُوا بِنِكَاحِ مَنْ سِوَاهُنَّ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ ثُمَّ اسْتَفْتَى النَّاسُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَعْدُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ‏{‏وَيَسْتَفْتُونَكَ فِي النِّسَاءِ قُلِ اللَّهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِيهِنَّ‏}‏ قَالَتْ فَبَيَّنَ اللَّهُ فِي هَذِهِ أَنَّ الْيَتِيمَةَ إِذَا كَانَتْ ذَاتَ جَمَالٍ وَمَالٍ رَغِبُوا فِي نِكَاحِهَا، وَلَمْ يُلْحِقُوهَا بِسُنَّتِهَا بِإِكْمَالِ الصَّدَاقِ، فَإِذَا كَانَتْ مَرْغُوبَةً عَنْهَا فِي قِلَّةِ الْمَالِ وَالْجَمَالِ تَرَكُوهَا وَالْتَمَسُوا غَيْرَهَا مِنَ النِّسَاءِ، قَالَ فَكَمَا يَتْرُكُونَهَا حِينَ يَرْغَبُونَ عَنْهَا فَلَيْسَ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَنْكِحُوهَا إِذَا رَغِبُوا فِيهَا إِلاَّ أَنْ يُقْسِطُوا لَهَا الأَوْفَى مِنَ الصَّدَاقِ وَيُعْطُوهَا حَقَّهَا‏.‏

English Translation

`Urwa bin Az-Zubair said that he asked `Aisha about the meaning of the Qur'anic Verse:--"And if you fear that you will not deal fairly with the orphan girls then marry (other) women of yourchoice." (4.2-3)Aisha said, "It is about a female orphan under the guardianship of her guardian who is inclinedtowards her because of her beauty and wealth, and likes to marry her with a Mahr less than what isgiven to women of her standard. So they (i.e. guardians) were forbidden to marry the orphans unlessthey paid them a full appropriate Mahr (otherwise) they were ordered to marry other women instead ofthem. Later on the people asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about it. So Allah revealed the following Verse:--"They ask your instruction (O Muhammad!) regarding women. Say: Allah instructs you regardingthem..." (4.127)and in this Verse Allah indicated that if the orphan girl was beautiful and wealthy, her guardian wouldhave the desire to marry her without giving her an appropriate Mahr equal to what her peers could get,but if she was undesirable for lack of beauty or wealth, then he would not marry her, but seek to marrysome other woman instead of her. So, since he did not marry her when he had no inclination towardsher, he had not the right to marry her when he had an interest in her, unless he treated her justly bygiving her a full Mahr and securing all her rights.
