What is the ruling on marriage and divorce in the case of time travel for a couple, prior to their marriage, whether from the future to the past or vice versa?
The website is not concerned with answering hypothetical questions, but rather focuses on answering lawful (Sharia) questions that petitioners need. Overburdening oneself with questions about what is not beneficial is reprehensible in Islamic law and wastes the time of both the questioner and the one being asked. The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) used to ask about practical matters that benefited them, not about hypothetical scenarios or convoluted issues. One should be wary of asking about what is not beneficial, for the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "Leave me as I leave you, for verily, those who came before you were destroyed by their excessive questioning and their differing with their prophets. So, when I command you to do something, do as much of it as you can. And when I forbid you from something, then abandon it."
