The executor: may he give in marriage?

Simak bin Salamah said: Shurayh held valid a marriage arranged by an executor (wasi).

Al-Harith said: The guardian (wali) will consult the executor (wasi) about arranging the marriage, and the one who takes charge of the marriage contract will be the guardian.

Hammad said: If an executor marries off a young orphan girl who is under his care, it is permissible.

Al-Hasan said: If an executor arranges a marriage, it is permissible.

Al-Sha'bi and Ibrahim said: Every action of the executor is valid except marriage.

And it is narrated from al-Hakam and Hammad, from Ibrahim; they said: Whatever the executor does is valid, except marriage.

Al-Hasan did not give the executor any say in marriage, unless the one appointing him had said: "You are the executor for the marriage of my sisters and my daughters." If he did that, the executor has more right than the guardian in the matter of marriage. If he did not say this, the guardian has more right than the executor.
