[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no marriage without a guardian." We have supported this with authentic narrations and the statements of knowledgeable scholars, affirming the authenticity of the hadith of Abu Musa which contains sufficient evidence for those who reflect upon it. And in this matter, there are also narrations from Ali ibn Abi Talib, Abdullah ibn Abbas, Muadh ibn Jabal, Abdullah ibn Umar, Abu Dharr al-Ghifari, Mikdad ibn Aswad, Abdullah ibn Mas'ood, Jabir ibn Abdullah, Abu Hurairah, Imran ibn Husain, Abdullah ibn Amr, Myswar ibn Makhramah, Anas ibn Malik, and others, and most of them are authentic. The narrations regarding this topic have been verified and confirmed from the wives of the Prophet, Aisha, Umm Salamah, and Zainab bint Jahsh, among others.
