Authentic. It is from the hadith of Abdullah ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both. It is documented in al-Irwā’, which makes clear that Muslim alone narrated it, and that al-Bukhārī did not. Al-Hāfiz also noted this in al-Fath (9/165).

217 – (A young woman came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and informed him that her father had married her to his brother’s son, although she disliked the match. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, therefore left the decision to her. She said: “I approve what my father has done, but I wanted women to know that fathers have no authority in this matter.” Narrated by Ibn Mājah and others.) p. 173

Weak. I documented it in A Critique of Modern Hadith Texts by Shaykh Muhammad al-Mansūr al-Kinānī. We published its first and second sections in the distinguished journal al-Tamaddun al-Islāmī, after which it was issued as a separate treatise. p. 173

218 – (He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Three things must not be delayed: the prayer when its time arrives, the funeral when it is ready, and an unmarried woman when a suitable match is found for her.”) p. 173

Weak. It is documented in The Rulings and Innovations of Funerals.

219 – (The hadith states: “If there comes to you a man whose religion and character you find pleasing, then marry him. If you do not, there will be turmoil in the land and great corruption.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhī.) p. 149, p. 173

Fair. It is documented in Irwā’ al-Ghalīl (1869).

220 – (A Prophetic hadith states: “Breastfeeding prohibits marriage to the same relatives as blood kinship does.” Narrated by al-Bukhārī and Muslim.) p. 175

Authentic. It is documented in al-Irwā’ (1934).
