Can I apply for visa before marriage?
Question
Assalam-o-alaikum, I am an engineer working at Saudi Arabia. Inshallah I am getting married on 25th December. As per laws I have to apply for visa to bring my wife. Seniors suggest me to apply for visa before hand so that i can bring her after marriage. Will it be ok? As per laws I do not have to mention my spouse name for visa application, just I have to produce a nikahnama, which I can get from my home place.
Answer
According to our understanding, this will require you to make a false Nikahnama.
If our understanding is correct, then it is not permissible.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
