Does a disbeliever have guardianship over his Muslim daughter in marriage?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner says: If a Muslim wants to marry a Muslim woman, can her disbelieving father be her guardian in the marriage?

Answer:
No, a disbeliever does not have guardianship over a Muslim woman. The Muslims take charge of her; the one in authority or the Shari'ah court contracts the marriage for her.
