The marriage contract through agency via mobile phone

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Please, my brother Ahmad from Tabuk. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. And upon you be peace. By Allah, I have a question for the Shaykh. Please go ahead. I am not a resident in Saudi Arabia. I have a fiancée in Yemen. Then, I mean, I was forced to speak to the girl’s family and such. They said I must contract the marriage. So I appointed my brother as my agent for the contract. But I appointed him via mobile phone. I did not appoint him in writing. Via mobile phone. When the marriage officer came, he told me to write the contract, which is the ownership document. I spoke to him and told him that I had appointed this brother as my representative. So he contracted and contracted. Is the contract valid or invalid? Since her father has now traveled, I want to travel to get married, and her father has traveled to Egypt, so what is the ruling? Thank you.

Answer:
If the wali (guardian) is certain of your agency, and the contract officer or the marriage officer is a certified marriage officer, and they are certain of your agency, then there is no harm in that. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
