    Fahad

    salam brother

    sorry i had to butt-in,

    Wsalaam bro.

    You are welcome .

    I guess you have a wrong understanding due to erroneous translation of the word Mohsinna by most of the translators , specially 24-4,

    I am willing to re-consider my understanding if I can see some solid evidence against it. My understanding is based upon verse 4/25, not upon translations of a single word.

    The Mohsinnats, or the mohsinna is ,NOT, a married women, but a label that Quran likes to call the women who are chaste, or in other words are not proven fahishas/zanias(every one is chaste unless proven otherwise)

    I'd like to see evidence for that.

    A clear proof against your understanding is 4-25, kindly go through that, it says , If you do not have the means to nikkah a Mohsinna from Mominats category , then you should marry a maiden mohsinna from Ma malakat category.

    Bro, 'al-muhsinaat al-mominaat' are already from the 'milk-al-ayman', IMHO. Al-muhsinaat are only allowed if they are from the 'milk-al-ayman' category(4/24). But I am sorry I don't get how that disproves my understanding?

      The only exception is 246

      246 And those who accuse their spouses, but they have no witnesses except for themselves, then the testimony of one of them is to be equivalent to that of four witnesses if it is sworn by God that they are being truthful.

      It still says that their testimony is EQUAL TO THAT OF 4 WITNESSES, which again implies that IN GENERAL ZINA IS PUBLIC SEX.

      Zina is definitely public sex, 24-6 has no relevance with the issue, this is a peculiar case and if you note
      no word like zina zani or zania is used in 24-6.

      It is an accusation for adultery and what is going to be proven in this case is a fahash act,

      Brother, 24/6 itself doesn't mention the words zina, zaaniya or zaani but what is the context about? It is about zina. 24/4 has relevance with zina, but 24/6 does not? Why not?

      Not zina, until or unless he/she is caught by 4 witnesses.

      So 24/4 is about zina even though it does not mention the word "zina", "zaaniya" or "zaani". But 24/6 is not about zina because it does not mention "zina", "zaaniya" or "zaani" either. Bro, please help me understand this logic. Thanks.

        Ma Malakat emnakum are rated along with your azwaj, you can have sex with them , the only difference being that you possess them for free, No wages/ajar/reward before enjoying them.

        They are not for free. They are dependent upon you, so you have to take care of their needs.

          Dear Samia
          You said What is this "sexless marriage "? Never heard of it.
          How come a marriage is sexless unless there is some really medical problem ?
          What is the use of such a marriage ?
          If you say financial support ,then it can be without marriage even.
          If a man takes a lady in marriage and does not does not have sex with her ,do you think it is is justified with that lady. Will she commit Zina for her psychological demands ?
          Regards

              I agree, and sex can definitely be categorised as an important need .

                IMO, context in 24-4 is an accusation , and the subject is an unproven accusation so it is not zina, That is why the word zina has not been used in 24-4.

                Again in 24-6 ,the issue can not be categorised as zina due to absence 4 witnesses, but as the matter is extremely important/sensitive for the witnessing spouse, as such he can not keep his mouth shut and go on living, just because he can't produce 4 witnesses , and if he bursts out with it, 80 lashes are waiting for him, so to avoid false accusation charge , a special procedure has been formulated.

                But this sole witnessing can not be termed as public sex , that is why No Zee word has been used in 24-6 as well.

                    This post definitely proves that you are mentally very much an adult , and that is what is important for discussing this issue on the forum.

                        MMA are particularly not to have sex with them. it's a sexless marriage , whether by at least one of them not being able to or not wnating/supposed to have sex. There are many people like that and they are not ignored by the quraan. And maybe God is asking him not to marry= to limit his intimate relations to his wives, or even to remarry/change his wives, but since MMA marriage is a sexless one, he could have as amny as he wanted. Otherwise, what's the point of forbidding him any more marriage, but allowing him as amny MMA as he wanted?

                        Dear samia

                        This sexless marriage argument is by far the most senseless argument that you have ever come up with, and on top of it , ridiculing Q student? who , in my opinion was asking you very intelligent questions very humbly.

                          In fact I was not rediculing student, I laughed at the way he understood my question. It has nothing to do with the discussion being for adults only. What I meant is that the older the men the nearer their expiry date, though it does not apply to all, but to a good percentage. Besides, primary impotence, secondary impotence or malformations are more than you can imagine. Not to mention the gay who cannot marry "fully" the opposite sex nor are allowed to marry into their own sex. Just because people do not talk does not mean that a good portion of the population are not suffering in silence.
                          And you say sexless marriage is none sense or does not/cannot exist?
                          What do the doctors on this forum think?

                            The accusation itself is not zina, but the accusation is about zina, is it not? Why would the context be about one thing and the accusation about another?

                            Again in 24-6 ,the issue can not be categorised as zina due to absence 4 witnesses,

                            But where is that verse that requires 4 witnesses for az-zina to take place, the verse that defines az-zina as public sex, the verse that mentions "zina" and "four witnesses" together?

                            but as the matter is extremely important/sensitive for the witnessing spouse, as such he can not keep his mouth shut and go on living, just because he can't produce 4 witnesses , and if he bursts out with it, 80 lashes are waiting for him, so to avoid false accusation charge , a special procedure has been formulated.

                            Bro, the Quran does not tell us this reason.

                            But this sole witnessing can not be termed as public sex , that is why No Zee word has been used in 24-6 as well.

                            The 'Zee word' has not been used anywhere in the Quran with "four witnesses".

                                Coming to the definition of az-zina, I think it is wrong to say that az-zina includes "pre-marital" sex because

                                If we pay close attention to the context of 24/2(the verse ordaining punishment for the az-zina), we realize that for az-zina to occur, az-zaani can be any man, "married" or not, but the az-zaaniya must be a "married" woman

                                Verse 24/4 talks about those who accuse al-muhsinaat of committing az-zina

                                24/4 And those who accuse al-muhsinaat, then do not bring four witnesses, therefore you shall lash them eighty lashes,....

                                According to verse 4/25, a woman is made muhsina through nikah. That is, a muhsina is a nikah-ed woman.

                                1. According to your interpretation, al-muhsinaat is married (contradicts 425)

                                2. Marriage does not make a woman chaste (this is about her character not marital status).

                                425 And who is not able, from you wealth that he marries almuhsanati

                                1. Says to marry a good woman (the chaste) not marry the already married.

                                Peace

                                  Salaam Eid

                                  Now you made muhsanaat rich women! Why is it "who has no means" means who has no money? Do the poor stop getting married? The qur'aan is not much concerned about how much wealth you have when it comes to commands and guidance. It does not even say only the rich should give charity or the poor should not pay "blood money/ fidiya". So " " Who is unable to marry the "muhsanaat" , and not (who has not the financial means)

                                      Salaam Eid

                                      Now you made muhsanaat rich women! Why is it "who has no means" means who has no money? Do the poor stop getting married? The qur'aan is not much concerned about how much wealth you have when it comes to commands and guidance. It does not even say only the rich should give charity or the poor should not pay "blood money/ fidiya". So " " Who is unable to marry the "muhsanaat" , and not (who has not the financial means)

                                      I think i had explained this,

                                      In addition to eid's arguments, one must understand, It is not about the Mohsinnate being rich , but you being poor, and hence the ayat is about recommending a cheaper alternate in the shape of a Maiden Believing Mohsinate among Ma Malakat category, because she will be more than happy to upgrade herself with a much less ajar.
                                      And you must note that this recommendation is for,
                                      1, she should be Mohsinna, (Not fahisha, zania, mushriqa from Ma Malakat category)
                                      2. she should be a Mominna (Not an otul kitab among Ma Malakat category)
                                      3. And among Ma Malakat, a fatayat (young maiden) should be your first choice.

                                      peace

                                        In fact I was not ridiculing student, I laughed at the way he understood my question. It has nothing to do with the discussion being for adults only. What I meant is that the older the men the nearer their expiry date, though it does not apply to all, but to a good percentage. Besides, primary impotence, secondary impotence or malformations are more than you can imagine. Not to mention the gay who cannot marry "fully" the opposite sex nor are allowed to marry into their own sex. Just because people do not talk does not mean that a good portion of the population are not suffering in silence.
                                        And you say sexless marriage is none sense or does not/cannot exist?
                                        What do the doctors on this forum think?

                                        To start with, you invented a senseless conjuncture, and to top it up, you are trying to defend it by posting the quoted silly justifications. If one goes by your criteria, then all marriages should be classified as sexless.

                                        How could you come up with "relation with MMA as sexless" with absolutely No evidence from Quran, specially when we have just the opposite proves from quran in the shape of 70-29.30

                                        I don't think I needed to pen down the following explanation , specially for a sensible , mature woman like you , but alas I have to go through this agony.

                                        The basic spirit behind the contract known as Marriage is putting a Man and woman together for reproduction, which can not be achieved without sexual intercourse.
                                        Any contract which prohibits a sexual liaison between them as a pre condition could be called any thing , but a marriage.

                                          The accusation itself is not zina, but the accusation is about zina, is it not? Why would the context be about one thing and the accusation about another?

                                          No, accusation is not of zina, but of committing fornication, which when proven , becomes zina. And if not proven (less than 4 witnesses) would remain an accusation, and that is precisely being discouraged with dire consequences of 80 lashes.
