Question 1
1. If a women is already engaged, it is not permitted for anyone else to offer the women
for marriage because of the Hadeeth of Ibn Umar which states that the Prophet said: “No
man should offer a proposal of marriage over the proposal of his brother until the first
one gives up or gives him permission.” Apart from that, any form of impediment against
the proposed marriage which exist under the Shariah will make a betrothal prohibited.
For instance, if a women is still in an existing valid marriage, or is observing her iddat
following a revocable or irrevocable divorce, or the death of her husband then she is not
free to betrothal with another man/ marry another man until the marriage is dissolved or
she has completed her iddat. This was mentioned in quran verse (4:24), (2:28), and
(2:234).
