Lesson
Sadu-qaati-hinna – {free gift of women’s marriage portions (who are
married recently)}, sadu-qaat is plural of sadaqah which is also used in the
meanings of charity, zakaat (alms-giving). Here it has been
used for the money or its value incumbent on the husband as a right of the
women (whom you marry).
Matrimony
and other orders regarding wives have been described in these verses. Allah
Almighty commands, Give unto the women (whom you marry) free gift of their
marriage portions happily at your own, whether anybody urges you to pay or not.
As though, if you do so then there is no objection to marry the orphan girls.
Objection is in that case if there is a risk of shortness in paying the money
or its value incumbent on the husband or their any right.
If the
woman of her own accord remits her husband a part thereof with her own pleasure
or returns it whole to him after receiving, then there is no harm, the husband
can take it happily and absorb it in his wealth. The wife can remit the entire
money incumbent to her husband too.
haniii-‘am-mariii-‘aa
– (with pleasure and love), the meal, which seems delicious and
a person accepts it with pleasure, that is called haniii-‘an and mariii-‘an is that meal which becomes part of the body and
means of health and personal strength after digestion.
It has
been directed about the little children; particularly the orphans come first
out of them that until they are unintelligent, their wealth should not be
handed over to them, which Allah Almighty has provided for the humankind’s
arrangements of livelihood. But you should preserve their wealth entirely and
save it from misappropriation until those children do not become able to
understand the difference between profit and loss, good and bad. However, feed
and clothe them from it, and satisfy them by speaking kindly that entire wealth
is for them, we are protecting it only as their well-wishers. When you will
become sensible, this wealth will be handed over to you.
We
should considerate, meditate and obey these orders, which Allah Almighty has
given to us about the orphans and women. We should pray for Divine guidance to
act upon them. Not only the feeding and the clothing but also speaking kindly
and fair talk is included in the goodness.
