Salafs sayings

It is reported that Imām Al-Zuhrī – Allāh have mercy on him – said:

Those of our scholars who went before us used to say,”Adherence to the Sunnah is salvation, but knowledge is taken away quickly, so the revival of knowledge means the stability of religion and worldly affairs, and the loss of knowledge means the loss of all that.”

Al-Lālakā`ī, Sharh Usūl I’tiqād Ahl Al-Sunnah article 136

The Disbelieving father May not be a Guardian of his daughter in marriage

 


Question:

A young Muslim man wants to marry a Muslim girl, but her father, who is a habitual drinker, and an apostate always refuses. Is it permissible for this to contract the marriage of his daughter?
Answer:

If she is a Muslim, then there is no objection to the young Muslim man marrying her. But her father may not be her guardian if he is a disbeliever; instead, her brother may give her in marriage, if she has a good brother, or her paternal uncle, or her paternal cousin, or her brother's son -if she has paternal Muslim relatives- then the nearest of them may give her in marriage. And if there is no one beside the disbelieving father, the Judge may give her in marriage.
