The questioner:
Then she says, may Allah keep you safe, she says: If a young Muslim man proposes to me, who will be my guardian?
The Shaykh:
The judge in the country, the ruler of the Shari'ah, or the Islamic center if she is in a non-Islamic country. The head of the Islamic center takes the place of the guardian and marries her off. This is if she has no guardian among the Muslims. But if she has a guardian among the Muslims, he is the one who marries her off. Yes.
The presenter:
You.
The Shaykh:
Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
