Berbeza Wali
Can a marriage proceed if the guardian named on the marriage form differs from the guardian named on the form delegating authority to the imam?
Short answer
The ruling states that the marriage may proceed even though the marriage form names the eldest brother as guardian, while the delegation form names the second brother as the guardian who authorises the imam.

Summary
The ruling states that the marriage may proceed even though the marriage form names the eldest brother as guardian, while the delegation form names the second brother as the guardian who authorises the imam. The difference in guardian names across the two forms does not prevent the marriage contract from being carried out.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pernikahan boleh dijalankan walaupun borang nikah Aminah ditulis nama wali abangnya yang sulung tetapi dalam borang wakalah nama wali yang menyerahkan hak wakalah kepada imam ialah abangnya yang kedua.
