The questioner : I have two questions:
The first question: A woman whose son contracted her marriage while her father was present; what is the ruling on this contract?
The Shaykh : We look at which is more appropriate for marrying the woman, her father or her son? The answer: Her father is the one who marries her off. So, if her son marries her off while the father is present, if the father is in a distant place and it is not possible to consult him, there is no blame. Or, if the father prevented her from marrying this person whom she was pleased with, and who is suitable in his religion and character, there is nothing wrong with her son marrying her off. However, if the father is present and does not object, the contract is invalid and it is obligatory to redo it.
