Question
Here in the UK a Maulana performed the Nikah of a Deobandi man to a Barelwi woman. Is the Nikah valid? Both are Hanafis.
Answer
A Nikah is valid if the boy, the girl's representative or herself and two witnesses are present when the Ijaab and Qubool are made. This is in terms of the Hanafi Mathhab.
If present at the Nikah was the boy, the girl (or someone representing her) and two Muslim male witnesses, then the Nikah was valid.
This is a simple issue. There is no difference of opinion in the Hanafi Mathab on this issue. Being Deobandi or Barelwi does not affect the validity of the Nikah.
Zil-Hajj may Qur'baani be made? When does Qur'baani time end?
A. From after the Eid Salaat. It is not permissible before the Eid Salaat. The time for Qur'baani expires at sunset on the 12th.
