Mahram Rules & Marriage Boundaries | Surah An-Nisa (

Bismillah! In this concise, student-friendly tafseer, Moulana Riaz Dhai explains key family laws in Surah An-Nisa (4:22–24): who is permanently forbidden in marriage (mahram), who is temporarily forbidden, fosterage (rada’ah) and its impact on lineage, and practical adab when interacting with mahram and non-mahram relatives. The lecture opens with an inspiring reflection on the life of Qari Basheer Ahmed Siddiq (رحمه الله)—a Pakistani scholar who taught Qur’an in Masjid an-Nabawi for 62 years—reminding us that Allah elevates people through the Qur’an. What you’ll learn: • Clear, Qur’an-based guidance on marriage prohibitions: mothers, daughters, sisters, paternal/maternal aunts, nieces; father’s wives; mother-in-law; daughter-in-law; step-daughters (with the condition of consummation); prohibition of marrying two sisters at once; and women already married. • Fosterage (rada’ah): how shared breastfeeding creates mahram ties and extends to “foster nieces/aunts,” safeguarding lineage. • Everyday fiqh & adab: respectful speech boundaries, appropriate gaze, modest dress at home, khalwah (seclusion), and travel rulings with a mahram. Benefits: • Protects family dignity, lineage, and social harmony. • Gives practical boundaries for modesty in modern life. • Strengthens love of Qur’an through real-life application. Keywords: Surah An-Nisa tafseer in English, mahram rules Islam, marriage prohibitions Quran 4:22–24, rada’ah fosterage, Islamic family law, modesty adab non-mahram, Moulana Riaz Dhai lecture Importance of topic: These verses are foundational for Islamic family life. They protect lineage (nasab), clarify lawful marriage options, and set day-to-day interaction boundaries that preserve modesty and prevent harm. Understanding them helps families avoid invalid marriages, social conflict, and spiritual harm. Topic discussed in this lecture: • Inspiration: how Qur’an elevates servants of Allah (story of Qari Basheer Ahmed Siddiq) • Categories of permanent/temporary marriage prohibitions (Qur’an 4:22–24) • Fosterage (rada’ah): age window and evidentiary care • Practical guidance: speech, gaze, dress, travel, and seclusion with mahram/non-mahram Teachings of these discussions (key takeaways): • Marriage is worship with responsibilities—not merely desire. • Preserve lineage: respect boundaries set by kinship, fosterage, and in-laws. • Practice modesty and professionalism with non-mahram; avoid casual intimacy in speech or messaging. • Exercise extra caution where desire is possible even among mahram of similar age (e.g., uncle/niece); maintain decorum. • Foster love for Qur’an; knowledge raises ranks and brings barakah.
