Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on a brother marrying his sister, because their father treats his children badly? Does the right of guardianship not descend from the closest relative except by the ruling of a judge?
Answer:
It is referred to the judge. If the closest guardian is removed and she is transferred to the next in line, there is no harm. However, if people act on their own and remove guardians who are fit, that is chaos. The meaning of marrying the more distant relative is that it is by the judge’s view. He looks to see if the closest guardian is acting correctly or not.
