Guiding Parents in Marrying Off Their Daughters and Facilitating Marriage

Question:
This questioner, Abu Muhammad from Tabuk, says: We would like guidance from Your Excellency the Shaykh Salih for the guardians of women regarding marrying off their daughters to those who are acceptable in their religion and character, and to facilitate the matters of marriage and reduce the costs, especially for women.

Answer:
Yes, by "guardians of women" we mean the guardians of women. Yes. They should take the initiative in marrying off those under their guardianship, because there is benefit in that, and they should not delay. If they delay their marriage and prevent them from marrying a suitable match that they are pleased with, this is 'adhl (preventing marriage), and 'adhl is forbidden. This is the forbidden kind of 'adhl. If this is established against him, his guardianship is taken from him and given to the next person among his 'asabah (residuary male heirs) to preserve her need and her benefit. Yes.

The presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you and reward you.
