[Machine] No, but he is the husband.  

لَا بَلْ هُوَ الزَّوْجُ  

[Machine] About Ibn Abbas, and it has been narrated about him in opposition to him.  

عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْهُ بِخِلَافِهِ  

[Machine] "That they may pardon or that the one in whose hand is the marriage knot may pardon." [Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 237] He said, "I am more deserving of forgiveness than her, so he accepted her dowry.  

أَنْ يَعْفُونَ أَوْ يَعْفُوَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ عُقْدَةُ النِّكَاحِ} [البقرة 237] قَالَ أَنَا أَحَقُّ بِالْعَفْوِ مِنْهَا فَسَلَّمَ إِلَيْهَا صَدَاقَهَا  

[Machine] That the woman forgives and leaves half of her dowry or the husband forgives and completes her dowry.  

أَنْ تَعْفُوَ الْمَرْأَةُ فَتَدَعَ نِصْفَ صَدَاقِهَا أَوْ يَعْفُوَ الزَّوْجُ فَيُكْمِلَ لَهَا صَدَاقَهَا  

[Machine] "He said that the one who holds the knot of marriage is the husband."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ عُقْدَةُ النِّكَاحِ هُوَ الزَّوْجُ  

[Machine] About Sadaq ibn Baniyya, he used to say that after the one who holds the marriage knot, the husband has the right to either forgive her from the entire Sadaq and give it to her, or she has the right to forgive half of the Sadaq that Allah has ordained for her. And if they disagree, she has the right to half of the Sadaq. With this chain of narration from Shu'ayb, he said, "By Allah, Shurayh never issued a judgment dumber than him when he left his first statement and took this one."  

عَنْ صَدَاقِ بَنِيَّ مَرَّةً فَكَانَ يَقُولُ بَعْدَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ عُقْدَةُ النِّكَاحِ الزَّوْجُ أَنْ يَعْفُوَ عَنِ الصَّدَاقِ كُلِّهِ فَيُسَلِّمَهُ إِلَيْهَا أَوْ تَعْفُوَ هِيَ عَنِ النِّصْفِ الَّذِي فَرَضَ اللهُ لَهَا وَإِنْ تَشَاحَّا فَلَهَا نِصْفُ الصَّدَاقِ 14452 وَبِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ قَالَ وَاللهِ مَا قَضَى شُرَيْحٌ قَضَاءً قَطُّ كَانَ أَحْمَقَ مِنْهُ حِينَ تَرَكَ قَوْلَهُ الْأَوَّلَ وَأَخَذَ بِهَذَا  

[Machine] Did you consider what would happen if the guardian forgives while the woman refuses? What benefit is the guardian's forgiveness if she refuses, or if she forgives and the guardian refuses, what benefit does the guardian have from that?  

أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ عَفَا الْوَلِيُّ وَأَبَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ مَا يُغْنِي عَفْوُ الْوَلِيِّ أَوْ عَفَتْ هِيَ وَأَبَى الْوَلِيُّ مَا لِلْوَلِيِّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ  

[Machine] Regarding the Prophet ﷺ, the guardian of the marriage contract is the husband, and this is not certain. And Ibn Lahia is not a reliable source for this. And Allah knows best.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَلِيُّ عَقْدِ النِّكَاحِ الزَّوْجُ وَهَذَا غَيْرُ مَحْفُوظٍ وَابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ غَيْرُ مُحْتَجٍّ بِهِ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
