Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is meant by customary marriage, which some suspicious individuals demand, and which the scholars prohibit?
Answer:
Customary marriage is a marriage that is not registered in the official place. That is, they require the contract to be in the court. As for the official marriage that does not go to the court, where they marry with a guardian and witnesses, they call it a member; this is incorrect. If there are witnesses and the conditions of the contract are complete, they are not required to go to the court and have the contract be official in the court.
