What is the ruling regarding a marriage offer (Ijab) when the proposer subsequently loses consciousness due to sleep?

General Chapter

Book 35 · Issue 2 · Bab 1

Open in Qurani

Primary text

If the proposer loses his intellect due to sleep, the effect of the offer is not nullified. This is because sleep does not nullify revocable contracts, and therefore, it does not nullify the effect of the marriage offer.
