A woman’s walee is her father, then whoever her father may have appointed before his death, then her paternal grandfather or great-grandfather, then her son, then her grandfathers sons or grandsons, then her brother through both parents (full brother), then her brother through her father, then the sons of her brother through both parents, then the sons of her brother through her father, then her uncle (her father’s brother through both parents), then her father’s brother through the father, then the sons of her father’s brother though both parents, then the sons of her father’s brother through the father, then whoever is more closely related, and so on – as is the case with inheritance. The Muslim leader (or his deputy, such as a qaadi or judge) is the walee for any woman who does not have a walee of her own.
(Quote from article "Conditions for the marriage contract in Islam" from the above URL)
So if you don't find anyone as described above, then look for an imam to be your wali. Go to the local mosque and ask the imam. Also the wali has to have the same religion as you do.
I don't think the wali is suppose to marry you. He serves a different purpose as indicated in the readings.
A husband is suppose to provide for clothes and bare necessaties of his wife according to his means.
I hope this helps.
Take care
Assalam-u-Alaikum
Salam walakum wr wbQ) Where do you find Walis ?
A) On Wali Street (Wall street)
lol
Sis the best option for you would be to go to your mosque and ask the imam to be your wali or elect a wali for you.
Please do not that this should only be done in the circumstance that none of your relatives are Muslims.
If you have Muslim parents or uncles and aunts you can ask them to be your wali.
The only duty incumbant upon the wali is to provide you with a background of the person you may be interested in. Or to suggest suitable marriage partners to you. He is not obligated in any way to you financially.
As for clothes, etc etc - you can ask for all those thing in you Mahr from your Fiancee.
Mahr is something which is a right granted by Allah swt to the woman. A woman may ask anything in mahr weter it be gold, money, clothes, or the mx of all of those. You can also ask for knowledge in mahr. Mahr can also be waived (let go of completely). But it is your right if you wish to ask for mahr.
Hope that little bit of knowledge helped you.
Please feel free to ask any questions you may wish insha'Allah.
that is the hardest part tho having sabr LOL i think that is why so many are going to the internet and not waiting for a wali. i know a sister that got married over the internet.
