Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, a woman from Riyadh, says: Honorable Shaykh Ahmad al-Fawzan, may Allah keep you safe, peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings. Honorable Shaykh, I have an older brother who wants to marry his daughter to a man who is not from the family. My brother, his daughter the bride, and his wife are all in agreement and have chosen this husband. However, we, the brothers and sisters, and our mother, do not agree to this marriage. Do we have any sin in objecting to this marriage, even though the father and his wife chose him?
Answer:
If this husband is righteous for the woman in terms of religion and trustworthiness, and she is pleased with him, then no one has the right to object to her. But if this man is not suitable for her, do you have the right to object?
