Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: My sister got married, and the one who conducted the marriage contract was her maternal uncle. My sister got married, and the one who conducted the marriage contract was her maternal uncle.

The Shaykh:
And who was the wali (guardian) who contracted this? Huh? Who was the one who conducted the contract? Who was the mu'adhdhin (marriage officiant)? The maternal uncle and the maternal grandfather must be disciplined. They are not... These are mahram (forbidden relatives), these are from the people of kinship (dhawi al-aram). They are not... They are not 'asabah (residuary male heirs). We are speaking about the 'asabah. The awliya (guardians) are the 'asabah. They are not the awliya, they are just relatives. No, yes.

The questioner:
Then, may Allah preserve you and protect you, he asks: What is your guidance to us in this matter, and what do we do now that she has been blessed with children?

The Shaykh:
Renew the contract for her. Make a new contract for her with correction. And the children are attributed to him because it was intercourse under doubt (shubhah).
