Broad lists of prohibited marriage forms can be difficult to apply safely because similar labels may describe different facts. This map helps a reader identify the correct question and move to the dedicated canonical guide.

It does not determine the status of a real marriage. Record the complete arrangement and ask a qualified scholar rather than selecting a label from a summary.

## Identify the contract pattern

- For an exchange condition between two marriages, read the dedicated shighar guide.
- For a time-limited arrangement, read the temporary marriage or mut'ah guide.
- For a pre-arranged remarriage after an irrevocable divorce, read the tahleel guide.

## Check surrounding restrictions

- Record consent, the wali, witnesses, mahr, existing proposals, waiting periods, pilgrimage state, and any condition joining one marriage to another.
- Keep direct statements and documents separate from family interpretation.
- Do not assume a translated label proves that every element of the described form exists.

## Use the canonical guides

- Each dedicated SalafiMatch page carries its own sources so the specific question stays clear.
- Take unresolved facts and source references to a qualified person of knowledge.
- Where civil status or registration is involved, obtain local legal guidance separately.

**The safest use of a prohibition map is navigation: define the facts, read the exact owner, and seek a qualified decision.**
