Question:
Shaykh Salih, a questioner says: What are the conditions that must be met when contracting a marriage? Is writing the contract necessary? Is one witness sufficient?
Answer:
The conditions: the presence of the wali (the bride's guardian) who contracts the marriage for her is necessary, and her consent is necessary if she has reached puberty, so her consent to the husband is required. Also, the offer and acceptance are necessary, which is the statement made by the wali or his representative, and the statement made by the groom or his representative. Yes.
