The Ruling on Contracting Marriage via Telephone

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: Is it permissible to contract a marriage via mobile phone?

Answer:
Presence is required, and witnesses are required in the marriage contract. This mobile phone may involve impersonation, where they mimic voices and lie in this matter. The presence of the husband or his guardian, the presence of the woman or her guardian, and the presence of two just witnesses are required. Yes. Also, the marriage is documented and a certificate is issued for you to carry with you. This is good, and it serves as confirmation and documentation of the marriage to prevent manipulation. Yes.
