Renewing one's nikaah if wife said words of kufr
Question
Mene ek behes ke waqt keh dia apni biwi ko ke kya “tum khuda ho”
She said yes... Now the problem is that she said that she didn’t say yes but I am sure she said.
1) Is this kalimat e kufr and will the person become kafir?
2) Do I need to do renew the nikah?
3) Do I need to give a separate meher for nikah?
Answer
As a precaution, you may ask her to repeat the kalimah and you may renew your nikaah with her.
You should also give her a separate mahr.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
