Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She says: I hope my question will be presented to Your Eminence, Shaykh Salih, so that perhaps my father will benefit and hear this guidance. She says that she has been a teacher for twenty years, and the truth is that her father hesitates regarding the suitors who come to her, and she has not married to this day. She says her salary is very high, Honorable Shaykh. She says: I missed the train. She asks the Honorable Shaykh for advice for guardians and daughters?
Answer:
It is not permissible to prevent women from marriage, meaning to stop them from marrying a suitable man they are pleased with, for the sake of a purpose that benefits their guardian by investing in them. It is not permissible for him to prevent her from marriage in order to invest in her by taking her salary. This is not permissible for him; it is forbidden upon him. This is a forbidden form of preventing marriage. Even if he persists in this, the guardianship is taken from him and given to the one below him, to remove the injustice and harm from her. Yes.
