English translation

[3478] 68 - (...) Sufyân narrated it with this chain and he said: (The Prophet ﷺ said:) "The previously-married woman has more right concerning herself than her guardian does, and the father of a virgin should ask her permission, and her permission is her silence.” Or perhaps he said: “Her silence is her approval.”

Arabic text

٦٨ - (١٤٢١) وحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ. حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ. وَقَالَ "الثَّيِّبُ أَحَقُّ بِنَفْسِهَا مِنْ وَلِيِّهَا. وَالْبِكْرُ يَسْتَأْذِنُهَا أَبُوهَا فِي نَفْسِهَا. وَإِذْنُهَا صُمَاتُهَا" وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ "وَصَمْتُهَا إِقْرَارُهَا".
