Q: Our Nikah was conducted by a Barelwi Imam as my wife's family follow them. Is there anything to worry about, such as the validity of the nikkah due to it been conducted by a barelvi imam? I don't think I have to investigate what exactly people's beliefs or statuses are. Can I just assume the best and leave the matter?
Q: A certain brother wishes to know if his nikah performed in the following manner is valid. In the presence of two jamaat brothers and his wife they first reverted his wife to Islam by making her recite the kalimah tayyiba.
