Re: Nikah on phone

Nikah on phone is valid if the girl appoints a wakeel who is physically sitting in front of the groom when the phone ceremony is going on.

Yes, a re-nikah can happen if desired.

dil pe paththar rukh ke dhoond rahaa hoon. sabar karain, akhir main bhee to kar rahaa hoon :hehe:

Re: Nikah on phone

^ lol tlk aap kiyun sabar kar rahay ho? idher tou paimana labrez ho raha hai, do something quick. come on u must be having a huge friends circle..... hopefully all boys circle.

so if a wakeel appointed by gal is not physically present inf ront of groom at the time of nikah then nikah is not valid? if nikah is not valid in this scenario then is it still valid for paper purposes? if not valid for paper purposes then y do ppl do it if it's not valid in islam/for paper purposes w/o physical presence of wakeel in front of groom at time of nikah?

^thanx a lot.

It is valid and is recognized by most of the scholars around the world. Not sure if getting it done again is required.

on the side note and as a word of advise, if you don't know the person/family personally, don't do the nikah over the phone. :)

Peace

Kuch logon ko shadi se pehle sabr karna parta hai ... aur kuch logon ko ... well we won't go there ... mujhe phantee na parjae!

I am no scholar but the answer is not complete. Before nikah, girl is anyways not in the same ‘majlis’ .. she is sitting in another room and her wakeel comes to the groom.

Chaachi, wakeel needs to be physically present in front of the groom.

Re: Nikah on phone

What about Nikah on Instant Messanger? Is Nikah through Internet chat valid?

Re: Nikah on phone

you mean through web cam/audio chat?

Re: Nikah on phone

I was only joking, but I guess...yeah. LOL

A question. Why would people hurry things and get Nikah done through phone? Isn't there a saying that goes something like "Jaldi ka kaam Shaitan ka hota hai"?

Re: Nikah on phone

Well, as Chaachi is implying, many people do it when groom is overseas and they want Nikah papers to start the immigration process for the bride.
