Explanation of the Book of Marriage-05

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
No woman should arrange the marriage of another woman, and no woman should arrange her own marriage لا تزوج المرأة المرأة ولا تزوج المرأة نفسها
Sunan Ibn Majah 1882Sahih (Darussalam)
It was narrated by Ibn Majah and al-Daraqutni, and its narrators are trustworthy.
A woman does not لا تزوج
I have it as a marfu' (traced to the Prophet) with the wording I have, and on this basis, it is a negation meaning prohibition, and a statement meaning a request is often used, whether it is a command or a prohibition.
No woman should arrange the marriage of another woman لا تزوج المرأة المرأة
Sunan Ibn Majah 1882Sahih (Darussalam)
Even if it were her daughter, she does not marry her, and she does not marry herself, even if she is an adult woman of sound mind, she does not marry herself.
Now, if she appointed another woman as her agent, and a woman came to an elderly woman of sound mind and discretion and said to her: "I have appointed you to marry me," and she married her? It is not valid, because if the contract is not valid for herself, it is even less valid for another. And this hadith is added to what came before, because the wali (guardian) is necessary in the marriage contract, and we have previously spoken about this, and we have explained that both the Qur'an and the Sunnah indicate the condition of the wali.
As for the benefits, we have taken the benefits from the first hadith of Abu Hurayrah.
