Ruling on forging a marriage contract to raise a salary
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He has another question, saying: I have a girl who is not married, and a brother of mine exploited this girl's name to create a forged marriage contract. He had two witnesses testify falsely in the contract that the girl had contracted marriage with his son; this was done to exploit the forged contract to raise his son's salary. This fraudulent act was carried out, and I asked my brother and the false witnesses to submit to the law of Allah, but they refused. What is the ruling of the Shari'ah in this matter?
May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
These people should be reported to the authorities, to the one in authority in the country, so that they are punished with what they deserve. Their case should be brought to the one in authority, because this is a great crime.
Therefore, it is obligatory to report their case to the one in authority, to the court or the prince, so that they are punished with what they deserve. The marriage is invalid; this contract is invalid and defective, and it is not to be relied upon as long as it is a forgery. They lied about her and about her guardian, so it is invalid. However, their case should be brought to the one in authority in the country, so that the man is punished with what he deserves, and the witnesses who knew the truth are punished with what they deserve. That is, these people are punished; that is, the forger, the man, and the false witnesses are punished by the one in authority with the deterrent discipline they deserve. The marriage that resulted from the forgery is invalid. Yes.
The presenter: Yes, it has no standing?
The Shaykh: It is void, and the earnings are forbidden (haram) that he took to raise his salary on the basis of the claim that his son had become married. This is forbidden because he took it through a forbidden means. We ask Allah for safety.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with the best reward, and may He benefit through you.
