Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A woman’s son contracted her marriage while her father was present. What is the ruling on this contract?
We look at which is more appropriate: for her father to marry her off, or for her son to do so?Answer: Her father is the one who marries her off. If her son marries her off while her father is present, there is no blame if the father is in a distant place where he cannot be consulted, or if the father prevented her from marrying this person whom she approved of and who is suitable in his religion and character. However, if the father is present and does not object, the contract is invalid and it is obligatory to redo it.
