Marriage of | '''Marriage of Imam al-Mahdi (a)''' is one of the disputed matters about the [[Twelfth Imam (a)]]. Those who believe the [[marriage]] has taken place, cite some [[Hadith|narrations]] wherein [[Imam Muhammad b. al-Hasan al-Mahdi (a)|Imam al-Mahdi’s]] children are mentioned. They also believe marriage is a stressed element in the [[Sunna|Prophet’s Sunna]], therefore the Imam must have practiced it. Those who disagree, consider his marriage inconsistent with the philosophy of his [[occultation]], which is to be hidden from people. Some believe although the marriage of Imam al-Mahdi (a) is probable we cannot have any final opinion about it. | ||

Shia scholars disagree over the marriage of Imam al-Mahdi (a) during occultation. As reported in the book “Daneshname-ye Imam Mahdi” (Encyclopedia of Imam Mahdi), this topic has been seriously brought up since late fourteenth century A.H. (mid twentieth century CE) and the first book to discuss the marriage of Imam al-Mahdi (a) analytically was “Tarikh al-Ghaybat al-Kubra” (History of the Major Occultation) by Sayyid Muhammad al-Sadr (d. 1418 AH/1998). However, before that and in the books “Najm al-thaqib” by Mirza Husayn Nuri (d. 1902/1320h) and “al-‘abqari al-Hisan” by Ali Akbar Nahavandi (d. 1949/1369h) contributions had been made to this discussion. Also in [[Bihar al-Anwar]] there is a chapter entitled “Successors to Mahdi and His Children and What Happens After Him, peace be upon him and his forefathers” | Shia scholars disagree over the marriage of Imam al-Mahdi (a) during occultation.
