English translation

2100. It was reported from Šāliḥ bin Kaisān, from Nāfi' bin Jubair bin Muṭ'im, from Ibn 'Abbās, that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The guardian has no command over the previously married lady, and the orphaned girl is asked. And her silence is regarded as her consent." (Sāḥih)

Arabic text

2100 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَيْسَ لِلْوَلِيِّ مَعَ الثَّيِّبِ أَمْرٌ، وَالْيَتِيمَةُ تُسْتَأْمَرُ، وَصَمْتُهَا إِقْرَارُهَا»

Commentary

It is better for a legal guardian to marry a widow to a person of her choice or liking, providing there is no legal reason making him not suitable.
