Explanation

In Muslim Law, the term Wali generally means guardian. A Wali can act as a guardian of the person, property, or marriage of a minor.

However, in a strict technical sense:

  • Wali → Guardian (especially guardian of the person or marriage)
  • Wasi → Executor/testamentary guardian, often appointed by will to manage property
  • Wilaya → The authority of guardianship
  • Wakil (Wakki) → Agent or representative

Because MCQ questions usually ask “guardian” in general, most exam keys treat Wali as the correct answer.

✅ Correct Option: (A) Wali
