Bayhaqi Q13797 — A non-Muslim cannot be the guardian of a Muslim woman

قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ، وَقَدْ زَوَّجَ ابْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، وَأَبُو سُفْيَانَ حَيٌّ، لِأَنَّهَا كَانَتْ مُسْلِمَةً وَابْنُ سَعِيدٍ مُسْلِمٌ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لِأَبِي سُفْيَانَ فِيهَا وِلَايَةٌ، لِأَنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى قَطَعَ الْوِلَايَةَ بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْمُشْرِكِينَ.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Ibn Sa'id bin al-As (Sayyiduna Khalid bin Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him)) married Sayyidah Umm Habibah bint Abi Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with her) to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while Abu Sufyan was alive, because she was a Muslim and Ibn Sa'id was also a Muslim, and Abu Sufyan had no guardianship over her, because Allah Almighty has cut off guardianship between the Muslims and the polytheists."
