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.
Wassalam.

Question:
Salamunalaikum, These days many people are saying that we should not read traditions (ahadeeth) of Masumeen (a.s.) because hadeeth can be zaheef etc. and normal people don't have capability to find out the reliability of ahadeeth. On the other hand we should only see what Ulama are saying, if they say something that is against the traditions then we should kiss the traditions and keep it aside and follow the ulama. What are the conditions of this, either it fits in all aspect or only in any particular field of Islam (e.g. furu) and isn't this approach making the people away from the ahadeeth of Masumeen(a.s.)?
Answer:
We are been ordered by the Prophet Mohammad (SAWA) to keep following Quran
being the Word of Allah, and Ahlul Bayt (AS) being the most pious leaders
who now the meaning of Quran and have the real Sunnah of the Prophet
(SAWA). Leaving any one of these Two means deviating from the Right Path.
Those who claqim that we should leave Hadeeths, are wrong, simply because
we can never understand Quran and have the details of Islam with out
authentic Hadeeths.
No real Aalim could say any thing against authentic Hadeeths, but the Ulama
distinguish between authentic Hadeeths and unauthentic narrations.

Question ID 744 - 2013-09-18 01:36:40
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.
