The Ruling on a Woman Marrying Herself Without a Guardian

Question:
The sister who indicated her name as Majdah says: Is it permissible for a woman, O Shaykh, to marry herself without a guardian, where she says, “I have married myself to you”? And if this action has already taken place, what is the solution? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
It is not permissible for a woman to marry herself without a guardian; rather, the guardian is necessary, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) . The marriage of a woman who marries herself is invalid, invalid, invalid, as stated in the hadith. This is the position of the majority of the scholars. As for the contract that took place, where she married herself without a guardian, this is referred to the Sharia court. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good. We move on to a message sent by a questioner, who says: O Shaykh, what is the ruling on praying behind a person who has a religious innovation (bid'ah)? And if we have already prayed several prayers behind him, do we repeat them?
