Regarding the announcement of the marriage, if there is no hand drum and only the husband, the two witnesses, and the guardian are present, how is the announcement made?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, regarding the announcement, if there is no... and at the time of the contract only the one performing the contract and the wife's guardian are present, how is the... announcement made?

The Shaykh : The common practice for us is that the announcement does not happen at the time of the contract; it happens at the wedding celebration.

The questioner : Well, the wedding celebration...

The Shaykh : There is no objection as long as, for example, the doors are opened for people and the lamps are placed; it appears that this is an announcement. The announcement has methods, as I said, but regarding the sounds of cars, we stipulated that there should be none.
The student: Disturbance.

The Shaykh : Disturbance. If there is disturbance, it becomes prohibited because of the disturbance.

The questioner : Yes, but...

The Shaykh : Huh?

The questioner : If he enters her house...

The Shaykh : In any case, this is an announcement as long as the husband's people announce it to the people, which is the common practice. However, the announcement differs; the secret is that, for example, he brings the guardian and two witnesses and marries the woman and says, "No," or he may say, "Do not inform anyone," or he may remain silent. But his father does not know; he comes to her family alone, he comes to her family alone. This is the secret; this is for me, I did not announce it.
