Answered by Shaykh Sohail Hanif, SunniPath Academy Teacher I wish to know whether it is permissible to make the marriage contract/nikâh several months (4-6 months) to the actual wedding party without having intercourse (dhukûl) - if one has a mutual agreement not to have intercourse before the actual wedding party as such but intending to get to know one another better and being allowed to be alone and talk intimately without a third person present (having obviously made the decision to get married, but not being able to due to several factors to throw a wedding party just yet). Wa ‘Alaykum al-Salam The marriage contract in Islam is very simple; the two parties express their decision to get married to each other with an offer and acceptance, and two witnesses must be present. Whether the marriage is actually consummated that night or the next has nothing to do with the actual marriage contract and depends wholly on the decision of the two parties. There is therefore no problem whatsoever to have the marriage contract several months before the couple starts living together. In fact this is a superior course of action for several reasons. Often people who are merely engaged will develop quite a friendly relationship with each other through telephone conversations, emails and even nights out. All of this is absolutely prohibited as the two are still considered strangers and the fact that they have decided to marry each other does not lift this general prohibition. A marriage contract enables the two to undertake any means of communication that they like and allows them to get to know each other which will ease the transition to married life and show up unexpected obstacles before they occur so that the couple can tackle them. And Allah knows best. Sohail Hanif Example sentence(s):
