Muslim girl taking consent from her non Muslim father or brother before getting married
Question
I want to marry a woman who has become Muslim, but her family is kafir. Her father is divorced from her mother and has not lived with him for more than 10 years and she lives with her mother and younger brother.
In this case does the girl need to ask permission or have the consent of someone from her family (Wali) or can she marry me only with her own consent?
Answer
She does not require their consent.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
