In this class we will discuss, with Allah’s permission, the rulings pertaining to marriage, relations between spouses, proposals, mahr, and divorce based on Ibn Hajr’s “Bulugh al Maram.” We will explore the immense treasure of knowledge and explanatory material left behind by our noble predecessor Ulema, including the rulings of the four madhahab and others. Those who meet the attendance and graduation requirements of the class will be granted a Certificate of Sanad (authoritative chain) in the ahadith covered.
