- " الأيم أحق بنفسها من وليها والبكر تستأذن نفسها وإذنها صماتها ".
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A widow has more right over herself (in choosing a husband) than her guardian, and a virgin girl should be asked for permission, and her silence is her permission."
