Q: A lady was newly married. She saw a dream that she got married with our Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam). Two days later her husband died. After compleating the Iddat, people encouraged her to marry again but she refused it by saying that when our Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) passed away, none of his wives married again. So is her view right or not?
A: This law is exclusive to the Mubaarak wives of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam). It is not permissible for anyone to marry the wives of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) after the demise of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam). As far as the women of the Ummah are concerned, then the Sunnah in regard to them is that if there is a need for them to remarry, then they should remarry. The meaning of the dream is that she should practise the Mubaarak Sunnah of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam).
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
