Text and translation

English translation

3265. It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbās that the Prophet ﷺ said: “The guardian has no right (to force) the previously married woman (into a marriage). And an orphan girl should be consulted, and her silence is her approval.” (Sahīh)

Arabic text

3263 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَيْسَ لِلْوَلِيِّ مَعَ الثَّيِّبِ أَمْرٌ، وَالْيَتِيمَةُ تُسْتَأْمَرُ، فَصَمْتُهَا إِقْرَارُهَا»

Commentary

'The guardian has no right': The wording of this report explicitly corroborates the requisite of the guardian. The guardian, however, has no right to create any obstacle. He should rather give precedence to the opinion of the woman.
