Question:
He says: Shaykh, in the marriage contract, is one witness sufficient? And what are the conditions that must be met when we contract a marriage?

The conditions of the marriage include the presence of a guardian (wali), meaning the one who contracts the marriage for the woman must be her guardian, and the presence of two witnesses, and specifying the spouses by mentioning their names. These are required in the marriage contract. Yes.
