Girl getting married without the permission of her wali
Question
Can a girl get married without her parents/wali's permission? I read a fatwa that the marriage will be invalid without the girls parents/wali's permission. Please guide.
Answer
It is against etiquette for a woman to perform the nikaah without the consent of the wali and guardian. However if it was done with a person that is within the kufu then the nikaah will be valid.
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.
