This issue is based on the difference of opinion among jurists regarding the ruling on marrying off a more distant relative when a closer one exists. If the Dar al-Ifta ( Council) issues a fatwa validating the marriage, then it is permissible to act upon their fatwa. There is also a difference of opinion regarding the ruling on an agent appointing another to act on their behalf, with the majority prohibiting it.
