| Assalamu Alaikum, If a sister's father is not around, divorced or dead, who becomes her wali? (grandfather? uncle? brother?) Deen :-) |

| I'm not quite sure but I suppose it has to be the brother. Allah has put much stress on relations telling us that we should always be good to them and be there in their time of need. Considering the immediate family, I believe it is the brother who should be supportive, since there is no husband or father to take care of the sister..hmm but in retrospect I think the children also are to fill the role. But always remember that God will always be there if none of your family members are (these relations are just worldly)..that's what gets me through the days. Isn't that a nice thought to keep ? :) Allahu Akbar!!!!! |

| [slm] :-) hope this will help ... I extracted this part from [url]http://www.islamicwell.com/iqano2127.htm[/url] The fuqahaa’ put possible walees in a certain order, and a walee who is more closely-related should not be ignored unless there is no such person or the relatives do not meet the specified conditions. A woman’s walee is her father, then whoever her father may have appointed before his death, then her paternal grandfather or great-grandfather, then her son, then her grandfathers sons or grandsons, then her brother through both parents (full brother), then her brother through her father, then the sons of her brother through both parents, then the sons of her brother through her father, then her uncle (her father’s brother through both parents), then her father’s brother through the father, then the sons of her father’s brother though both parents, then the sons of her father’s brother through the father, then whoever is more closely related, and so on – as is the case with inheritance. The Muslim leader (or his deputy, such as a qaadi or judge) is the walee for any woman who does not have a walee of her own. And Allaah knows best. Wassalam nora |
