Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu 'Abdullah says: What are the conditions that must be met for the marriage contract? Is one witness sufficient? And is a written document necessary?
Answer:
The marriage contract is completed by the offer (ijab) issued by the wali (guardian) or his deputy or agent, and the acceptance (qabul) issued by the husband or his agent, on the condition that two witnesses are present to testify to the marriage contract. Thus, the contract is completed by the wali who handles the contract for the woman, by the offer and acceptance, by the presence of the two witnesses, and by specifying the identities of the two spouses so that each is known by his or her designation. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
