If she is a Muslim virgin from a Muslim father, then the father’s approval is needed in advance. (A Muslim virgin: this is a terminology meaning never married before even if she sinned and had sex before the father’s approval is needed in advance and she can get his approval by his proxy or directly verbally from the father)
We also recommend a notarized, irrevocable Islami8.Marriage affidavit
Pronouncement: “Zawajtuka Nafsi” (I gave myself in marriage) and “Qabelt” (I accept)
Two honest, male Muslims must be witnesses before having sex.
According to the instructions of Allah and His Prophet (sa), a Muslim girl cannot marry a non-Muslim boy. (This is not our fabrication, again it is that of Allah and His Prophet (sa), therefore the only way out is for the boy to convert to the Islam).
When a married couple convert from either Christianity or Judaism and were married according to their previous religious rites, their marriage is still valid in Islam so they do not have to remarry.
Power of attorney to act on a bride or groom’s behalf is allowed, even if the couple are far from each other.
The prospective bride and groom must not be under age.
