Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: A committed man proposed to a woman and she accepted, but her father, who is not committed, refused. It is known that she has a brother who agrees to marry her off, and she is holding on to this suitor. It is known that this is in a land of disbelief. What is the solution? Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good. He says: A committed man proposed to a woman and she accepted, but her father, who is not committed, refused. It is known that she has a brother who agrees to marry her off, and she is holding on to this suitor,
The Shaykh:
In the lands of Islam, if a guardian is old and his authority is revoked as long as he refuses, his authority is revoked, provided the suitor is a suitable match and her brother is good and well-known, there is no harm. The father's guardianship is revoked and the brother's guardianship takes its place, and she does not remain exposed to scandal. Marry the old man. However, if this is in the lands of the Muslims, in lands where there are courts, she returns to the court. The court sits, and even in the court, it orders her brother to marry her.
