Sunan Abi Dawud 2093 (Book 12, Hadith 48) #22384
Respect for Orphan Virgin Girls

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught that an orphan virgin girl should be consulted about her own decisions and that her guardian cannot force her against her will.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet said: An orphan virgin girl should be consulted about herself; if she says nothing that indicates her permission, but if she refuses, the authority of the guardian cannot be exercised against her will. The full information rest with the tradition narrated by Yazid. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been transmitted in a similar way by Abu Khalid Sulaiman b. Hayyan and Mu'adh b. Mu'adh on the authority of Muhammad b. 'Amr.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زُرَيْعٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، - الْمَعْنَى - حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ تُسْتَأْمَرُ الْيَتِيمَةُ فِي نَفْسِهَا فَإِنْ سَكَتَتْ فَهُوَ إِذْنُهَا وَإِنْ أَبَتْ فَلاَ جَوَازَ عَلَيْهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَالإِخْبَارُ فِي حَدِيثِ يَزِيدَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَكَذَلِكَ رَوَاهُ أَبُو خَالِدٍ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ وَمُعَاذٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us to respect the decisions of orphan virgin girls and not to force them against their will. It is narrated by Abu Hurairah that the Prophet said an orphan virgin girl should be consulted about herself; if she says nothing that indicates her permission then the authority of the guardian cannot be exercised against her will. This tradition has also been transmitted in a similar way by Yazid b., Abu Khalid Sulaiman b., Hayyan and Mu'adh b., Mu'adh on the authority of Muhammad b.'Amr. We learn from this hadith that we must respect a woman's decision even if she is an orphan or a virgin as it is important to consult with them before making any decisions regarding their lives or future plans as they have rights too just like anyone else does regardless of their age or gender status in society .
