Volume 7 Book 62 Hadith 62

Volume 7, Book 62, Number 62:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
(regarding His Statement): ‘They ask your instruction concerning the women. Say: Allah instructs
you about them …’ (4.127) It is about the female orphan who is under the guardianship of a man
with whom she shares her property and he does not want to marry her and dislikes that someone
else should marry her, lest he should share the property with him, so he prevents her from marrying.
So Allah forbade such a guardian to do so (i.e. to prevent her from marrying).
