Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible for a woman to work as a Sharia notary, a marriage notary, to write and authenticate marriage contracts?
Answer:
It is not permissible; this is forbidden. It is not permissible except for a man, only a man. A woman does not take the place of a man in this. And if anyone issues a fatwa to the contrary at this time, that is an incorrect fatwa. Yes.
