In 2025, the promminent Islamic [[dawah|da'i]] Mohammad Hijab was accused by an anonymous woman of engaging in a misyār "sex marriage" where she was mistreated, used for sex, abused, and cut off from her family and friends. She accused Mohammad Hijab of telling her to act "like his girlfriend", giving her a McDonald's meal for a mahr, hiding the marriage from her father (she had no wali/guardian when she was married, which is considered illegitimate in most schools of Islamic law but is allowed by the Hanafis for all forms of marriage), and of gas lighting her and threatening her with social ostracization should she tell anyone of their arrangement. She and her father went on the record that Hijab used his knowledge of the shari'ah and his reputation to bully the woman, who is a single mother, into the marriage and to keep her in it despite her protestations and pleas for support. Hijab has responded that the misyār marriage was Islamically sound and denied all wrongdoing. | |||
