A sister from a Muslim environment: when she was born, her father and mother were in a state of zina; the marriage had not taken place yet, and she is a committed Salafi sister.

The questioner: I mean, if you would be so kind, there is another sister who is from a Muslim environment, meaning from Nigeria, but her people, of course, did not know anything about Islam except their name. So, when the girl was born, her father and mother were in a state of zina; meaning they were not married, neither by religion nor even by custom; meaning the registration at the court or something like that. Now, the girl is committed, Salafi, and a good girl.

The Shaykh : What Allah willed!

The questioner: Is her wali her father, or is her wali, for example, a person who is in charge of the affairs of the Muslims here in the country?

The Shaykh : It is the latter, the second one.

The questioner: The second one.

The Shaykh : The second one.

The questioner: I mean, if she is a child of zina, her father will not be her wali.

The Shaykh : Yes, because he is not her father.

The questioner: Pardon?

The Shaykh : Because he is not her father.

The questioner: Because he is not her father.

The Shaykh: It is known.
