The ruling on relying on a single witness when contracting a marriage
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a man takes possession of a woman, and only her guardian and one witness are present at the mu'adhdhin's office, and she is willing, is that sufficient, or is the marriage invalid?
Answer:
One does not suffice with less than two witnesses. Two witnesses are required along with the husband and the guardian. Four people are present in the marriage contract: the guardian, the husband, and the two witnesses.
