Selecting a guardian in order to get married

Qn38: There is a new-Muslim sister in Germany who wants to get married but her father is a disbeliever (Kaafir) and we know that there is no guardianship of a Kaafir over a Muslim. She has a brother who has accepted Islaam, but he doesn’t pray and hasn’t accepted the angels and he doesn’t recognise his duty / responsibility of guardianship over her and has refused to be her Walee. Is this correct and what should she do? Also, she possesses wealth, can she ask someone to look after it?

Ans.38: Firstly, According to what has been said in the question, her brother is not a Muslim, he is a disbeliever. Even if he has pronounced the Shahaadah, based on what was said in the question, he is a Kaafir (disbeliever) like his father, or worse.
She should look for a man who is upright in his religion, of good manners and trustworthy to be her husband, so he may help her in her religion.
She should also choose a man who is known, good and straight in his religion to become a guardian for her and take care of the affairs of her marriage.

As for her wealth, her husband can become a representative for that, or she can choose someone else as long as she remains free to use her wealth as she pleases. What is most important is that she chooses a good and religious man to become her husband and that she has a trustworthy guardian to take care of the affairs of her marriage.
