Relatives are not allowed to reject a suitor, if a woman and her guardian accepted him


326

A: if someone proposes to a young woman, and she and her Waliy (a legally accountable person acting for a woman regarding marriage) are pleased with him, none of her other relatives have the right to object to her marrying him, as they are not her Waliy. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said, “If there comes to you one whose character and Din (religious commitment) please you, give him (your daughter or female relative) in marriage.” (Related by Ibn Majah and Al-Tirmidhy) This Hadith is only addressed to the Waliy, not anyone else. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
