Fathwa - Marriage and Engagement, - The Disbelieving FatherMay Not be a Guardian ofHis Daughter in Marriage

Question:
A young Muslim man wants to marry a Muslim girl, but her father, who
is a habitual drinker, and an apostate always refuses. Is it
permissable for this father to contract the marriage of his daughter?
Answer:
If she is a Muslim, then there is no objection to the young Muslim man
marrying her. But her father may not be her guardian if he is a
disbeliever; instead, her brother may give her in marriage, if she has
a good brother, or her paternal uncle, or her paternal cousin, or her
brother's son - if she has paternal Muslim relatives- then the nearest
of them may give her in marriage. And if there is no one besides the
disbelieving father, the Judge may give her in marriage. - - ▓███▓
