The ruling on marrying a woman without a guardian in a country where that is considered permissible

The questioner:
I ask Allah for you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: If a country follows the Hanafi school

The Shaykh:
If what?

The questioner:
If in a certain country they follow the Hanafi school, and a woman there marries herself off when she reaches twenty-one years of age, and they do not require a guardian, is it permissible for me to marry her, given that our country requires a guardian?

The Shaykh:
This is if the judge rules in your favor, their judge, their qadi, rules in your favor, and you are at ease. If you are not at ease, do not proceed with it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sin is that which nags in your soul, wavers in your chest, and you dislike people finding out about it. So if you dislike this, do not proceed with it. Yes.

The presenter:
Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh:
And if the people give you a fatwa and you give them a fatwa. Sin is that which nags in the soul, wavers in the chest, and you dislike people finding out about it. And if the people give you a fatwa, you give them a fatwa. Consult your soul and your heart. Yes.
