Question:
My cousin’s daughter got married, and her father was the guardian who contracted the marriage. Her maternal uncle and her brother were the witnesses. The girl was willing and in the best of moods, praise be to Allah, but they did not consult her about her consent before the contract?
Answer:
No, if she was brought to you and she was willing, then she is willing.
Q: Yes?
The Shaykh: When she was brought to you and she remained silent, it means she is willing.
Q: Does that mean the contract is valid?
The Shaykh: There is nothing wrong with it at all. Leave it alone and get rid of Satan’s whispers.
