Is it haraam for a 16 year old to learn about marrige and divorce in islamIn my culture it is considered weird to learn about marriage in my ageJazakallahu khayran
Answer:
All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.
It is permissible for a person of this age to seek any religious knowledge or any branches (sections) of its category because the texts where knowledge seeking is encouraged did not specify an age for that and did not limit it to one aspect of this science to the exclusion of the other. Allah Says (what means): {… and say, “My Lord, increase me in knowledge.”} [Quran 20:114]
Besides, Mu’awiyah, may Allaah be pleased with him, said: “I heard the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, saying: “If Allah wishes good for a person, He makes him comprehend the religion.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
This is while considering the progression in seeking knowledge by starting with the study of short books and graduating thereafter to what is more significant than it; this helps you to understand and memorize. However, the request for knowledge should be at the hands of a well-versed Sheikh.
For more benefit on seeking Islamic knowledge, please refer to Fataawa 89059 and 101478.
Allah knows best.
