Women's Right to Choose in Marriage

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad allowed a woman to choose her own husband.

Aishah narrated: "Barfah’s husband was a free man, so the Messenger of Allah let her choose".
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ زَوْجُ بَرِيرَةَ حُرًّا فَخَيَّرَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ عَائِشَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ هَكَذَا رَوَى هِشَامٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ كَانَ زَوْجُ بَرِيرَةَ عَبْدًا ‏.‏ وَرَوَى عِكْرِمَةُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ زَوْجَ بَرِيرَةَ وَكَانَ عَبْدًا يُقَالُ لَهُ مُغِيثٌ ‏.‏ وَهَكَذَا رُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ‏.‏ وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ وَقَالُوا إِذَا كَانَتِ الأَمَةُ تَحْتَ الْحُرِّ فَأُعْتِقَتْ فَلاَ خِيَارَ لَهَا وَإِنَّمَا يَكُونُ لَهَا الْخِيَارُ إِذَا أُعْتِقَتْ وَكَانَتْ تَحْتَ عَبْدٍ ‏.‏ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ الشَّافِعِيِّ وَأَحْمَدَ وَإِسْحَاقَ ‏.‏ وَرَوَى الأَعْمَشُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ كَانَ زَوْجُ بَرِيرَةَ حُرًّا فَخَيَّرَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ وَرَوَى أَبُو عَوَانَةَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ فِي قِصَّةِ بَرِيرَةَ قَالَ الأَسْوَدُ وَكَانَ زَوْجُهَا حُرًّا ‏.‏ وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنَ التَّابِعِينَ وَمَنْ بَعْدَهُمْ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ وَأَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ
