1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ‘Umar ibn ‘Udhaynah from af-Fudayf ibn Yasar and Muhammad ibn Muslim and Zurarah ibn ‘A‘yan and Burayd ibn Mu‘awiyah who has said the following
“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘A woman who has control over herself and is not dimwitted and has no master over her, her marriage without guardian is lawful.’”
1- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنِ الْفُضَيْلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ وَزُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ وَبُرَيْدِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
الْمَرْأَةُ الَّتِي قَدْ مَلَكَتْ نَفْسَهَا غَيْرَ السَّفِيهَةِ وَلا الْمُوَلَّى عَلَيْهَا إِنَّ تَزْوِيجَهَا بِغَيْرِ وَلِيٍّ جَائِزٌ.
