Question ID 754 Friday 20th of September 2013

Question:

Salaam, In the process of performing mutah on the telephone, is it necessary for the man and woman to read the marriage formula in the presence of a scholar (is it necessary for a scholar to be present when the marriage formula is being read?) And what are the methods of drawing up the marriage contract for mutah? Can this be a verbal agreement, or must it be a written agreement with conditions? JazakAllah khair

Answer:

Marriage agreement (whether permanent or temporary) must be performed
verbally. It is not necessary for a scholar to perform it, but it can be
performed by the woman and man themselves. Witness is not necessary in
marriage but recommended. Writng the marriage agreement is not necessary
but good if there were conditions within the agreement.

If there was no sexual intercourse , then no Iddah is required.
If the condition was no sexual intercourse , then no sexual intercourse , but if the condition was no sexual acts, then no sexual act will be allowed.

Question:

Salaam un alaikum, I had a question regarding the temporary marriage (mutah) and its rulings: 1) Can the process of mutah be performed over the telphone? 2) Is an iddah period applicable after the contract has ended? 3) Is the iddah applicable even in those cases where no sexual intercourse has been written as a condition? JazakAllah khair

Answer:

A1) If they know each other with out any doubt, it is allowed to recite the
Mut'ah marriage agreement over the telephone mentioning the Mahr and the
period of the marriage.

>
> Q2) Is an iddah period applicable after the contract has ended?
>
A2. Iddah is must after Mut'ah marriage if sexual relationship was involved
between them. The Iddah then is two menstrual periods after the end or
termination of the Mut'ah marriage.

Question ID 744 Wednesday 18th of September 2013

Question:

Asalamualaykum,I have a question regarding the validity of my nikah.Two years ago i performed nikah with a muslim brother without informing he's or my parents and i am in doubt of whether the nikah is valid or not.The nikah was  performed in order to protect ourselves from sining and doing haram. Both the girls family and boys family have met and are happy with the proposal but the issue was that the boy and my family wish for ua to study and make something of ourselves and also the boy and his family as of yet do not have the means to accomadate me as they are 5 people living in a small 2 bedroom house and so the boys family require good few years before they can consider getting their son married with me. Therefore, we took the step to do right and performed nikah as we know it is important to be halal and we couldn't stop speaking and meeting each other as we fell in love and wanted to be together. The nikah was conducted between us My blood brother who is mature was my wali along with 1 male and 2 female witnesses, in the nikah there was: offer, acceptance,reciting of kalima and dowry from man to woman.  It has been two years since we performed this nikah but I am very stressed, we have done everything a husband and wife does and I feel guilty about whether the nikah is legitimate and whether i done haram unknowingly please give me some guidance about whether this nikah is valid.  I know my father and mother are happy with the boy but until his parents do not agree to get us married we have to wait thus we undertook nikah to save ourselves during this wait . I would appreciate any advice you can give.Jazak'Allah

Answer:

Virgin girl needs the approval of her father or paternal grand father for
her marriage. Your elder brother is not enough at all even with any number
of witnesses.
You stop having any sexual act with the man, until your father approves the
Nikah which you have done.
Try to convince him that your intention was just to save yourself from
falling in sinful act.
Wassalam.
