Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man was blessed with a newborn daughter, so one of his relatives visited him and said, “This one is for so-and-so.” The man replied, “I agree in terms of the wording.” Does this take effect?
Answer:
If two witnesses are present, it takes effect. If two witnesses are present and he says, “This is better for you,” intending marriage, and the other party intends marriage and has accepted, and you have two witnesses to this statement, then it is binding.
