Assalaamu alaykum mufti saab(may Allah swt prolong your life and fill it with His blessings,,,ameen)

I have just met a sister who has reverted to islaam(7months)mashaAllah,,,she is at this moment finding it very difficult islamically and feels she has no protection and that marriage would bring ease in this way...

she is looking into becoming engaged to the right brother however she is concerned as her family are against it ,she is still studying and living with them(she has not met any brother but inshaAllah will be contacting her local imam for help

but i would like to get ur opinion Hazrat

is it permissable for her to get engaged /married without her parents(non muslim) permission

inshaAllah we will be awaiting ur reply

(may Allah swt prolong your life and fill it with His blessings,may He grant you jennah for the good you do,,,,,,ameen)

walykumusalaam wrwb




Bismillah



Al-jawab billahi at-taufeeq (the answer with Allah's guidance)







A non-Muslim cannot be a Wali (guardian) for any Muslims as they have got no power or choice of getting a girl or boy married. (Al Hidayah)



Therefore, it will be permitted for her to get married without their permission.







And Only Allah Ta'ala Knows Best.

Mufti
