''Walī'' ((アラビア語:ولي), plural ʾawliyāʾ أولياء), is an Arabic word meaning "custodian", "protector", "helper", etc.〔(Hans Wehr, p. 1289 )〕 "Wali" is someone who has "Walayah" (authority or guardianship) over somebody else. For example, in fiqh, a father is ''wali'' of his children especially for his daughters in marriage. In Islam, the phrase ''walī allāh'' can be used to denote one vested with the "authority of God": However, the most common meaning of the word is that of a Muslim saint or holy person. In Turkish the word has been adopted as veli.〔http://www.seslisozluk.net/man+close+to+God,+holy+man,+wali,+saint-nedir-ne-demek/tr-en-da/〕 In Palestine the word wali means both holy man and the tomb or mausoleum of a holy man. This is reflected in 19th- to early 20th-century Western scholarly literature, where the word is spelled "wali", "weli", "welli" etc. in English and "oualy"〔Guérin, 1880, p. (488 )〕 in French. It should not be confused with the different word wāli () which is an administrative title that means magistrate〔(Hans Wehr, p. 1290 )〕 or governor and is still used today in some Muslim countries, such as the former Wali of Swat. ==Wali as male custodian of a woman== According to Islamic law (''shari'a'') a woman needs a wali, that is a male custodian. In marriage, the marriage contract is signed by not by the bride and groom but by the bride's wali (typically the father or failing that a paternal grandfather or brother of the bride) and the bridegroom. After marriage the husban becomes the wali. Typically a father, brother or husband (a mahram) is a wali. In the case of the woman's first marriage the father or paternal grandfather is wali mujbir. In this case, the bride's silence is considered consent. If father and grandfather are deceased another male relative may function as wali. If there is no Muslim relative, a qadi may function as wali. There are only very few exceptions to this ruling, e.g. in the Hanafi school of Islamic law a woman may under certain circumstances marry without a wali, if it is not her first marriage. At least in conservative Muslim countries, such as Saudi Arabia, girls and women are forbidden from traveling, conducting official business, or undergoing certain medical procedures without permission from their male wali. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wali」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
