Witnesses

Q: About 10 years back I was in a boyfriend girlfriend relationship with a non Muslim boy and wanted to marry him. (Astaghfirullah) One day while we were talking over the phone, I got emotionally carried away and said qubul hai to him thrice like I had seen in the movies and series. That was it. There was no one else, no other thing or condition, I just spoke! Now was this a nikah?

I have sincerely repented for my mistakes and feelings for a non-Muslim boy from Allah Ta'ala and still repent daily for every wrong doing of mine! I would request you to. I am now married and a mother of one. 

Q: What is the procedure of being a witness for your sister/daughters nikah? Also, does the mehr have to be given at the time of the nikah or can it be given before or after? Does it have to be given physically? Would it just suffice if it was just stated?

Q: My question is about Nikaah. One person did nikaah to woman like this. They both wrote on a paper that in the name of Allah I accept you as wife and husband. Then they speak verbally three times to each other kabool he kabool he. Then boy gives her haq mahar. Then the boy told many people he has did nikaah for gawaah or witness after some time. Is that nikaah valid?

Q: I performed nikaah few days back but after some days the witness told my husband that he didn't listen to the nikaah ceremony properly and didn't listen when I said "yes" for the nikaah. He said that during nikaah his mind was deviated from the ceremony and in short he didn't listen to our nikaah and my acceptance. He then advised my husband that he should perform nikaah with me again. So I just want to say that was that nikaah valid or not because the witness denied that he listened to the nikaah.

Q: What are the least possible requirements of doing nikaah? Is it possible in the presence of only two witnesses and bride and groom? Or the presence of a Molvi is necessary?

Q: I am a divorced/single parent of one child. I have met someone in a halaal way and told that person I wanted to get married as soon as possible as I didn't want to commit zina. A few days ago we went to I think it was the Hanafi masjid and did our nikaah. The problem is I didn't as my wali which is my dad to stand up as my wali because I knew that he would want me to do nikkah in the way I wanted. So the Imman in the masjid stood as a wali for me. Now the problem is my husband looked into and phoned around to ask about this. Most of the place is saying it's invalid. Which is a big problem. So I've told my dad that I met someone and want to do nikkah but his telling me to think about it before I do it so told again I want to do nikaah as soon as possible but his telling me now he needs to think and tell me. I asked him why the need to make me wait he told me that I need to listen to him. My parents are divorced also on my mum side they do not practise Islam so I am waiting for my father now to tell me if he will be my wali or not. I really need some advice on this Insha Allah as now I'm missing the person I thought I was married to and also I live in a non Islamic house with my son. The person I want to be with is a practising Muslim and so am I. We pray five times Alhumdulilah and try our best when it comes to our Deen.

Q: If a man n woman accept each other as husband and wife three times in front of one witness, will it be valid? And also saying that Allah is witness.

Q: My question is about nikaah. Can a boy and girl make nikaah on their own, just oral, with one witness or without witnesses and how? We did that, we read kalima and than he asked I son of, he told his father's name and he asked do you accept me as husband. I said qubool hai 3 times, and he said the same. We had one witness. Is this nikaah valid?

Q: Is it permissible in Islam to perform nikaah without the presence of parents and family but to have only friends present to act as witnesses, etc?
