Summary
The fatwa sets out the paternal guardians for marriage in order of priority. The father comes first, followed by the paternal grandfather and above. Next are full brothers, then paternal half-brothers, nephews, paternal uncles and male cousins. The list continues through great-uncles, great-great-uncles and their male descendants down to the 26th position, with full-blood relatives placed before paternal-only relatives at each level.
