A woman’s marriage without the permission of her guardian

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The sister asking says: Is it permissible for a young woman, twenty-five years old, to marry without her father’s permission, given that her mother is divorced and she lives with her, and there are disagreements between the father and the mother?

Answer:
It is not permissible for a woman to marry except with a guardian. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
No marriage exceptلا نتاح إلا
with a guardian. The guardian is a condition for the validity of the marriage contract, so a woman does not contract her own marriage. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
