Is it permissible for a man to look at the orphan under his care, and is he allowed to marry her?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Under your care, we look at her.

The Shaykh : What is not beaten.

The questioner : How is his entire self?

The Shaykh : Yes, she is under his care, and he is not a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to her, but he does not remain alone with her. That is, if it is assumed that no one else is in the house, he cannot have custody of her.

The questioner : If, if you do not answer her.

The Shaykh : He must get married. He may be her wali (the bride's guardian) if she consents and he is the wali and the closest person to her. He brings the two witnesses and says, "Bear witness that I have married so-and-so."

The questioner : He may consent, unless he is intended within a scope.

The Shaykh : There is no obstacle. He must intend it, and she is free. If he gives her less than the mahr (the bridal gift) and she says, "I do not want this," she is free. In fact, it is not permissible for him to marry her for less than the mahr of her like. It is not permissible at all.
