Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it valid to make the offer and acceptance through modern means of communication, such as the telephone or video internet?
Answer:
No, it is obligatory that the offer and acceptance take place in the council of the contract; it is obligatory for both spouses to be present in that council. Otherwise, this method allows for alteration, fraud, and lying to enter, so it is not permissible.
