In countries that do not implement the ruling of Allah and have no Shari'ah courts, is it permissible for a girl to marry herself off in the absence of a guardian?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding entering countries that do not implement the Shari'ah of Allah and have no Shari'ah courts, is it permissible for a girl to marry herself off if her guardian is obstructing her? And if it is not permissible, what is the Shari'ah alternative?
The Shaykh : There are no Muslims in that country? I do not imagine that!
The questioner : The countries themselves do not implement the Shari'ah of Allah.
The Shaykh : Yes, I know, but I am asking: Are there no righteous Muslims in it? Can she not contact some Islamic countries and appoint a man she trusts in his religion and knowledge, if there is no such person in her country? It is not permissible to say that she marries herself off by herself until all avenues are blocked, and this is far from reality.
