The Book of Marriage

كتاب النكاح

 

Chapter 6: The prohibition of proposing marriage when one's brother has already proposed, unless he gives permission or gives up the idea

باب تَحْرِيمِ الْخِطْبَةِ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ حَتَّى يَأْذَنَ أَوْ يَتْرُكَ ‏‏

Sahih Muslim 1414

'Uqba b. 'Amir said on the pulpit that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said

A believer is the brother of a believer, so it is not lawful for a believer to outbid his brother, and he should not propose an engagement when his brother has thus proposed until he gives it up.

وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنِ اللَّيْثِ، وَغَيْرِهِ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ، أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ شُمَاسَةَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ، عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ الْمُؤْمِنُ أَخُو الْمُؤْمِنِ فَلاَ يَحِلُّ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ أَنْ يَبْتَاعَ عَلَى بَيْعِ أَخِيهِ وَلاَ يَخْطُبَ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ حَتَّى يَذَرَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏
