May Allah always grants long life and health to Mawlana Shaikh Nazim qs, Mawlana Shaikh Hisham qs and all family, and also all eshaikh member,
I have a sister in law, who are reaching age of maturity / marriage, and she plan to get marry soon. The problem is my parents in law had adopted her, and did not know who is her parents ( someone had arranged for them, and now she has passed away).
My question is:
1. Who are person who have right as her wali for nikah, is it her father now, or should be authorized person as a wali hakim?
2. How if her father now insist to be her wali, is it her marriage accepted(legal)?
3. Should we let her know about her status as an adopted daughter, since we affraid to broke her heart?
Please, advice us, sayyidi,
Thank you wassalam, wr wb.
Answer:
`Alaykum as-Salam wa rahmatullah,
The man who raised her (adoptive father) is qualified to be her wali and
she should know about her status as adopted.
