Father in-law or brother in-law acting as a wakeel in nikaah
Question
Can a girl choose her father in law and her brother in law as wali or wakeel of nikah?
Answer
The father-in-law can be used, not the brother-in-law, as the wali if she does not have brothers, parents, uncles, etc.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
