Ask an Alim

What are the conditions and requirements of the Nikkah online

Q:

Asalaamualaikum warahmahtullahi wa barakaat. I have a question for my cousin regarding performing Nikkah on video call.

He is currently in Mauritius and she lives in Bangladesh. Given the current situation, they dont know when they will be able to meet and perform a nikkah.

Is this permissible? If so, what are the conditions and requirements of the Nikkah.

Jazakallah khayr

A:

Assalamu Alaykum.

Ruling 2395. If a girl wishes to get married and she has reached the age of legal responsibility (bulūgh) and is mature (rashīdah) – meaning that she is able to determine what is in her interest – and she is a virgin, and she is not in charge of her life’s affairs, such a girl must obtain the consent of her father or grandfather. In fact, based on obligatory precaution, even if she in charge of her life’s affairs, she must still obtain their consent. The consent of her mother or brother is not necessary.
