Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I entrusted my father in my country to perform the marriage contract for me. Before the document proving the agency reached him, he proceeded to perform the contract. He seated one of my relatives, misleading the marriage officer into believing he was the groom, and he signed the papers. He asks: What is the validity of my contract?
Answer:
This is not valid, but it must be presented to the court. I am afraid the question is not clear. It is necessary to present it to the court and verify it. Contracts are reviewed by the courts; even issuing fatwas does not involve reviewing contracts. One refers to the courts for them. Yes.
