Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: I contracted the marriage of my wife, and one of the witnesses was a man I knew did not pray, neither before the testimony nor after it. What is the ruling on the contract, and what is required of me now?
Answer:
If it is the case that he does not pray, then his testimony is not valid. The contract must be redone from the beginning with witnesses and a guardian. It is to be redone from the beginning. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
