Secret nikaah
Q: I am currently engaged to a certain girl. We are completely in love with each other and go out together all the time. To save ourselves from Haraam we want to make nikah asap. However our parents are very adamant that we are still young and the nikah should be made 2 years from now, and they dont mind the Zina that is taking place. My plan is to make a secret nikah now and 2 years later I will have a normal nikah in the musjid. However, I heard a Mufti saying that this way of secret nikah and then open nikah later on is not permissible because it is haraam to make a 2nd nikah with the same lady again, it is playing around with Allah's Deen, is this true?
A: The secret nikaah is valid if it is done in conformity with the Shari`ah. The sin for all this is upon the parents since they are delaying an act that is waajib upon you.
( وينعقد ) ملتبسا ( بإيجاب ) من أحدهما ( وقبول ) من الآخر ( وضعا للمضي ) لأن الماضي أدل على التحقيق ( كزوجت ) نفسي أو بنتي أو موكلتي منك ( و ) يقول الآخر ( تزوجت و ) ينعقد أيضا ( بما ) أي بلفظين ( وضع أحدهما له ) للمضي ( والآخر للاستقبال ) أو للحال فالأول الأمر ( كزوجني ) أو زوجيني نفسك أو كوني امرأتي فإنه ليس بإيجاب بل هو توكيل ضمني (الدر المختار 3/ 9)
