Nikaah & Marriage Issues

Receiving a good proposal

Q: A girl got a good proposal for her marriage. Everybody is satisfied with all other aspects except the boy's age, he is only one year older than the girl so, as the girls get older soon due to delivery and all, girls parents are in confusion whether to accept the proposal or not. May mufti Saheb please give your precious suggestion in this regard?

Marrying a person who is one's match

Q: Kindly assist me if possible. My eldest son is 23 years old and Alhamdulillah he is a hafiz as well. He is ready for marriage and it is his wish to marry in the Sayyid family (lineage of our Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam). How do I find someone as per his wish. Please make dua that Allah Ta'ala grants him a suitable spouse.

Performing the nikaah at the bride's house

Q: Please advise on the below scenario as well as questions. Insha Allah I am getting married in December in Cape Town, and I am from natal. The wedding and walima will be taking place in Cape Town. The Imam will perform the nikah at the house, as the nearest masjid is far away from the house. Is this allowed in Islaam? or does the nikah have to take place in the Masjid. For us to have the Walima, what are the requirements that need to take place. May Allah Ta'ala reward you for your assistance.
