Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah bless you. If the closest guardian of a woman is absent, and then the next guardian in line marries her off... and then the closest guardian arrives and finds him to be insane, and he was originally married off while insane, does he have the right to divorce her from him?

The Shaykh : No.

The questioner : This ... .

The Shaykh : But did the more distant guardian marry her off in a lawful manner, or otherwise?

The questioner : Yes...

The Shaykh : Okay, so the marriage is valid. Is the woman willing, or is she not willing?

The questioner : She is willing.

The Shaykh : Alright, the marriage is valid. Yes?
