Marry with paper work

Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

 

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

Is it possible to marry in the religion only without any papers from the government or state? 

 

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

 

Answer:

 

Marry with paper work

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

There are four obligatory conditions for a marriage or ‘nikaah’ to be lawful in Shariah:

  1. Proposal by one party and acceptance by the other.
  2. The determination of ‘mehr’.
  3. The presence of (at least) two witnesses to the marriage contract.
  4. The consent of the parents/guardians of the bride.

 

If the above four obligatory conditions of a ‘nikaah’ are met, regardless of whether one chooses to register their marriage contract with the government authorities of the land or not, that marriage will be deemed absolutely legal, lawful, and binding in the Sight of Shariah Law and in the Sight of Allah Subhanah.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

 

 

Burhan
