Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success! This is a woman from outside this country who says she is eager to learn the teachings of her religion. She asks: How does a woman marry if she has converted to Islam? Her relatives do not pray, and some of them are disbelievers. The heads of the Islamic centers there do not require the guardian's permission, because they follow the school of Abu Hanifah. So what should she do?
Answer:
Yes, the Islamic center takes the place of the ruler in her country, according to the school of Abu Hanifah. This is a valid school; the school of Abu Hanifah is a valid school.
