Question<\/b>:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Salam respected Mufti, I had a humble question whether it is a requirement that the two witnesses of Nikah are able to visually see a bride at the time of Nikah. In other words, let\u2019s say a bride is in the same physical space but behind a curtain\/partition, and the witnesses clearly hears the ijab and qabul (knowing that they are witnessing a Nikah). Is the Nikah valid or should they be able to visually witness as well besides just hearing it?<\/span><\/p>\n

Answer<\/b>:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is only required that the two witnesses are not confused as to which lady is the bride. If she is present and veiled, it is sufficient to gesture at her. It is more precautionary to uncover her face if there are no non-mahrams present, but it is not necessary. If she is behind a curtain or partition, it is allowed as long as she is the only woman behind the curtain, so that there is no confusion as to who is speaking.<\/span><\/p>\n
