What knowledge must be learned before marrying?

Before marrying, a person must know the personal religious obligation (fardu ain) knowledge relating to the married life they are about to enter.
This includes: (1) the ruling on marriage, its pillars and conditions; (2) the rights and responsibilities of husband and wife, including maintenance (nafkah); (3) the fiqh of purification — the obligatory bath, menstruation, postnatal bleeding and irregular bleeding; (4) the etiquette of marital intimacy; (5) the basics of talaq, reconciliation (rujuk) and ʿiddah, so that talaq is not pronounced carelessly; (6) the basics of raising children. Seeking knowledge is an obligation on every Muslim, and this knowledge is the basis for carrying out the command to protect oneself and one's family from the Fire (at-Tahrim 66:6). Begin with Marriage Basics and Rights of husband & wife.
