Question:
A woman asks, saying that she has become a Muslim and has two Muslim brothers, while her father is a disbeliever. She says her older brother prays sometimes, while her younger brother is constant in his prayer. Which of them is her guardian if she wants to get married?
Answer:
First, she should call her brother who sometimes abandons prayer to the path of Allah, explaining things to him, as he may be ignorant. She should explain to him and call him to Allah, so that perhaps he will repent. If he repents, he is the guardian. If he does not repent, her guardian is the younger brother who is consistent in his prayer. Yes.
