Questioning the laws of Allah Ta'ala
Question
Why is it necessary to have witnesses and a Moulana present for a nikaah to take place but for divorce to occur nobody else besides husband and wife need to be present?
Answer
This is the law of the shariah. A muslim does not ask why has Allah Ta`ala stipulated the law in this way and why not in that way. A muslim may ask whether this is the law of Allah or not.
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.
