What is the explanation of the hadith: "إذا هاجر الشخص لينكح امرأة فهجرته إلى ما هاجر إليه"? And does it apply to someone who emigrated for marriage and then died?
The aforementioned is, "Indeed, actions are by intentions...", meaning that matters are judged by their objectives. Whoever claims to have emigrated for the sake of Allah and His Messenger while intending another purpose is blameworthy. However, whoever emigrates seeking marriage, or emigrates for Allah and marriage together, and does not conceal an intention contrary to what they outwardly show, their action is not blameworthy. One who seeks marriage combined with emigration may be rewarded, though not with the reward of the sincere. And one who emigrates solely for marriage may be rewarded if they intend it as an act of devotion, such as seeking chastity.
