A woman marrying herself if she has no guardian

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a woman to marry herself if she has no guardian, neither near nor distant?

Answer:
My brother, the court marries her; the guardian of authority marries her. The ruler is the guardian of the one who has no guardian. So if she has no guardian, the legitimate ruler marries her.
