Sahih Muslim 1415a (Book 16, Hadith 67) #10602
Prohibiting Shighar Marriage Arrangements

SUMMARY: Allah's Messenger prohibited Shighar, which is a marriage arrangement where two people exchange their daughters without any dower being paid.

Ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with them) said that Allah's Messenger prohibited Shighar which means that a man gives his daughter in marriage on the condition that the other gives his daughter to him in marriage with- out any dower being paid by either.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَهَى عَنِ الشِّغَارِ ‏.‏ وَالشِّغَارُ أَنْ يُزَوِّجَ الرَّجُلُ ابْنَتَهُ عَلَى أَنْ يُزَوِّجَهُ ابْنَتَهُ وَلَيْسَ بَيْنَهُمَا صَدَاقٌ
