حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مُوسَى الأَنْصَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنِ الشِّغَارِ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ عَامَّةِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ لاَ يَرَوْنَ نِكَاحَ الشِّغَارِ . وَالشِّغَارُ أَنْ يُزَوِّجَ الرَّجُلُ ابْنَتَهُ عَلَى أَنْ يُزَوِّجَهُ الآخَرُ ابْنَتَهُ أَوْ أُخْتَهُ وَلاَ صَدَاقَ بَيْنَهُمَا . وَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ نِكَاحُ الشِّغَارِ مَفْسُوخٌ وَلاَ يَحِلُّ وَإِنْ جُعِلَ لَهُمَا صَدَاقًا . وَهُوَ قَوْلُ الشَّافِعِيِّ وَأَحْمَدَ وَإِسْحَاقَ . وَرُوِيَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ يُقَرَّانِ عَلَى نِكَاحِهِمَا وَيُجْعَلُ لَهُمَا صَدَاقُ الْمِثْلِ . وَهُوَ قَوْلُ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ .

Ishaq ibn Musa al-Ansari narrated to us: Ma'n narrated to us: Malik narrated to us, from Nafi, from Ibn Umar, that the Prophet prohibited shighar. Abu Isa said: This hadith is hasan sahih. Most scholars act on this and do not consider a shighar marriage valid. Shighar is when a man marries his daughter to another man on the condition that the other man marries his daughter or sister to him, with no dowry between them. Some scholars said that a shighar marriage is annulled and unlawful even if a dowry is assigned to both women. This was the view of al-Shafi'i, Ahmad, and Ishaq. It is related from Ata ibn Abi Rabah that he said they should remain in their marriages and be assigned customary dowries. This was the view of the people of Kufa.
