Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for the husband to be the one who contracts the marriage, or is it required that it be another man? How is it? Is it permissible for the husband to be the one who contracts the marriage, or is it required that the one who contracts be another man?
Answer:
The contract is from both parties, from the wali (guardian) and from the husband. The wali provides the offer (ijab) and the husband provides the acceptance (qabul). So, if this contract has the offer and the acceptance, the contract is completed with the testimony of the witnesses.
