Does this prolonged distance have any effect on my nikah?
Question
My wife and I have been apart for a few months, are there any repercussions on our nikah with us being apart this long? What period would affect our nikah?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
This time apart has no repercussions on your nikah and your nikah is intact. Similarly, mere prolonged distance does not affect one’s nikah.[1]
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
