Who are a woman's Walee'.

Q; so what if the muslimah that is trying to get married cant find a wali and nobody wants to be the wali. She has to be single. I am asking cause I know a person that has been trying to find a wali for almost a year now and she is trying to get married and now he iman is starting to become weak cause she wants to marry this man but she cannot find a wali

A; All-Praise is due to Allah,
The woman’s wali is her father, then his father (i.e., her grandfather), then her son, then his son (i.e., her grandson) [this applies if she has sons], then her full brother, then her half-brother through her father only, then the sons of her full brother, then the sons of her half-brother through her father, then her paternal uncles, then their sons, then the father’s paternal uncles, then the ruler (Imam of the Masjid or Sheikh).

The Ruler becomes the Wali in the case of if there are non of those that are mentioned above or that the Wali is a Kaafir (disbeliever) so they are replaced by the ruler whom is an Imam of the Mosque or a Sheikh. This is because if the guardian of the bride is a disbeliever then it is not permissible for them to be their Wali so this is when the ruler (Imam or Sheikh) must become her Wali.

So without a doubt anyone could find these people that are mentioned above in order for this person to pursue their Marriage.

And Allah knows best...
