This is the simple reason why many dislike the salafis (the sunnis). More so, this is the reason many hate Shaykh Muhammad Ibn 'Abdul Wahhāb ( رحمه الله).

Maintaining a single happy life, especially after a previous marriage, is difficult. Consequently, people often become promiscuous. This doesn’t mean men should continue to treat marriage negatively, whatever that entails.

Yes we see it, and I am not pretending. And the truth is making money doesn’t solve the problem. That a woman has money doesn’t automatically mean an evil man won’t treat her badly. We have to go back to the root, which is giving our children proper Tarbiyah.

You misunderstand me, Learned Silk. Actually, the tweet reduced the OP to income alone (even though I understand his perspective well), and that's why I decided to speak on it. In fact, the tweet literally supposes you could have everything else, but “what if?” And that is very okay and has strong basis. My point, again, is that it has never been our legislation's mainstream—and it will never be. It's never been this obvious (even if it has always been this worse) that after these dissolutions, women without sources of income bear the brunt of it mostly. And that is exactly why I said an income source is not the point; instead, she must have some skill...some capacity to sustain herself if the need arises. She must have something to give, even if she never monetized it while she was married and had her needs catered for.

It reminds me of the girl who said agreeing to marry me was a favour. I had a life-changing conversation with my legs. Nonsense

Intention is a very fickle thing indeed.

Of course, I understand. The negative stories about some Muslim brothers aren’t representative of the faith. The deen is perfect and faultless in this regard. Evil people will always find a way to hide their wrongdoing. Another point I’d like to emphasise is how far we’ve strayed from the deen, particularly in matters like marriage. We’ve lost sight of its true purpose and haven’t explored the right path to it. Men often overlook the essential qualities in a woman while women set unrealistic expectations for potential partners. Parents also contribute to this problem.

Valid question, but then not all women face injustice in their marriages. And I don’t think/believe that financial independence will restrict an evil person from perpetrating the evils. This is not to say women shouldn’t earn, but to say a woman who’s not earning shouldn’t think about marriage is too extreme. Evil has no gender.

They said what if life happens We say: our religion has never been based on 'what ifs'. We agreed it's good and it may even be recommended she has something doing especially a skill. But making it a general prerequisite for marriage is only people's preference not Islam's.

Muslims have been parroting this, even though there’s no shred of evidence from the Kitab and Sunnah.

They lump everything together these days.

When did it become a prerequisite that a woman must be earning before she can think about marriage?

Very true, you go think say na enjoyment. The number of mama put wey I sabi that time ehn, both inside and outside Lagos (at least Lagos, Abeokuta, ibadan, sagamu, ilorin, sekona). Anytime some of my people (friends and family) dey find where to chop outside, na me dem go call. Some of my friends go attend wedding for Osogbo, dem call me, and I directed them to where mama put dey. Even though I no sabi the name of the area and the mama put name gan gan, I still direct them reach the place.

Parents should learn how to create a “home” their children can always return to, especially their daughters, when life gets difficult. There are many married women enduring abusive or unhealthy marriages not because they want to stay, but because they feel they have nowhere to go if they leave. Your daughters should never feel that marriage is a one way journey with no safe path back home.

Don’t let your life story be: “He knew every World Cup player & celebrity, but not the names of ten Sahabah who were promised Paradise.” “He stayed awake all night for matches, yet slept through Fajr without regret.” May Allah guide us & protect us from wasting our time on things that bring no benefit in this dunya or akhirah. Ameen.

My brother and sister, here is a piece of advice after spending 60 years in this world, most of them devoted to the pursuit of knowledge. This advice is the summary of what I've learned from knowledge and from the experiences of life. If you act upon this advice,
