The ruling on contracting the marriage of a girl under the age of six

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is the marriage contract valid for a girl who is under the age of six?

Answer:
Her father has the right to marry her off, but only for her benefit. If he sees benefit in marrying her, he marries her to someone he considers best for her. He does not marry her off for the sake of a greed he takes or for his own desire. This is specific to the father; the other guardians do not marry off a young girl. Yes.
