Question:
At a recent wedding, a woman performed the nikah
(i.e. doing the khutbah and presiding over the
ceremony). Are there any specific rules to a person
officiating a nikah, or is it simply a contract
which anyone can perform?

In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful and
Compassionate
There is nothing legally wrong with a Muslim woman
performing a wedding (nikah) ceremony. Women have
full legal agency in the Shariah, and have the right
to initiate their own marriages, to act as agents
(wakeel) for others to marry, and to oversee the
marriage of others.
A nikah does not actually legally require a
religious figure (an imam or shaykh or mawlana) to
conduct it. Rather, its obligatory elements--as
detailed more thoroughly in related answers--are: a
valid offer from one side and a valid corresponding
acceptance from the other; and witnesses who hear
this offer and acceptance while knowing that what is
happening is a marriage.
However, it is recommended to have someone of
learning, wisdom, and piety involved in this
process, in order to ensure that the marriage is
legally sound, pleasing to Allah (by not falling
into errors of social or religious judgement), and
blessed.
And Allah alone gives success.

Re: Re: [IslamCity] A Woman Performing a Wedding(nikah) Ceremony
Assalamualaikum
Mohamed Aslam,
What is now happening:-
Both parents agree and fix the wedding+ nikah.
While the bride is elsewhere, the groom with
the 2 witness etc., and the Muslim registrar of
marriages perform the nikah ceremony:
He recites something from the Quran and then fill up
the forms and get the 2 witnesses to sign and the
guardian of the bride holds the hand of the groom
and repeat in Arabic what is said by the registrar
that he (the groom)accepts so and so as his legal wife
followed by a short du'ah.
Inorder isn't it
?

Assalaamu ^Alaykum
Ok, hld on now. The basic conditions for an Islamic marriage
contract to be valid are to have a Muslim man, a Muslim, christian or
jewish woman, and two reliable Muslim male witnesses. The only time there
MUST be another person involved is if the contract is being performed
according to Imam ash-Shafa^iyy, when there must be a person of a certain
religious status (Shaykh), or if the girl is under age, and she must have
a Waliyy to give her in marriage. If these conditions are not met, then
the contract is not valid.
A woman can give herself in marriage, but men must officiate and
witness the contract.

Does it not require the reading of khutbah? Is it valid in the absence of khutbah? Is it not a departure from the established practice among the Muslims in vogue forcenturies? Muhammed [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
