\n\tAnswered by: Imam Abdul-Malik Sheikh<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tQuestion<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIs the permission (\u062a\u0648\u0643\u064a\u0644<\/span>) for <\/span><\/span>the marriage<\/span><\/span> of a lady over <\/span><\/span>WhatsApp<\/span><\/span> or a phone call valid?<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u0628\u0650\u0633\u0652\u0645\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0631\u0651\u064e\u062d\u0652\u0645\u0646\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0631\u0651\u064e\u062d\u0650\u064a\u0652\u0645<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnswer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe world is fast changing in the area of communication and information sharing. In the past, communication had been verbal or in written form on <\/span><\/span>paper<\/span><\/span>. In our time, electronic communications in the form of emails and text messages have replaced and are like written communication on paper.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tThere is a juristic principle that states:<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\t“The written statement is considered as an oral statement.”<\/strong>[1]<\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tTherefore in response to your question, a person can seek <\/span><\/span>the permission<\/span><\/span> of marriage (Tawk\u012bl) of a lady via writing text, if he is not present. This is provided that the message is communicated by a representative audibly in the presence of at least two male witnesses or one male witness and two female witnesses. [2]<\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tFor this to be done over the phone, complicates the matter as the offer (\u012aj\u0101b), acceptance (Qab\u016bl) and the presence of the witnesses should all take place at the same time and place. In order for this to be valid over the <\/span><\/span>phone<\/span><\/span>, both parties should appoint representatives who will conduct the marriage on their behalf.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
