Sunnah method of Nikaah
Question
I am getting married soon, Insha Allah. Please provide me with the step-by-step sunnah way of nikkah and what is required to make the nikaah valid. Also, what is the difference between a wali and waqeel, and who would suffice as a witness for both bride and groom?
Answer
Refer to the attached book.
The wakeel is a representative and wali is a guardian.
If the nikaah is done in a musjid then all those attending the nikaah are witnesses.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
