Q: During my nikah, one of the witnesses asked me who I wish to take as my representative, and I said my brother. My question is:
1. Is it necessary for the bride to verbally appoint her representative or can her brother, being her wali, act on her behalf without her saying so.
2. If I didnt say my brothers full name does this affect the validity of the nikah. On the marriage certificate my brothers full name is written.
3. If nothing of the dowry amount is paid immediately does this have affect the validity of the nikah?
A:
1. No, it is not necessary. If she gave consent for the marriage, the brother can act on her behalf.
2. No
3. No
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
