Ibn ‘Abbas reported the Prophet as saying,“A woman without a husband has more right to her person than her guardian, and a virgin’s permission must be asked about herself, her permission being her silence.”In a version he said,“A woman who has been previously married* has more right to her person than her guardian, and a virgin must be consulted, her permission consisting in her saying nothing.”In another version he said,“A woman who has been previously married has more right to her person than her guardian”and a virgin’s father must ask her permission about herself, her permission being her silence.”* Thayyib. This means a woman previously married who has no husband. In view of the context it is argued that ayyim is used above in this sense. Muslim transmitted it.
