Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 858/L=321/TL=1432) It is not lawful for in-laws to demand money due to marrying the girl, it is bribe. In the same way, as per the rules, it is not lawful for girl’s family to give money to boy’s family for nikah.

Q. Marriage is expected to be performed after 1 month. Primary talks are done happily between two families. Regarding this situation, a local Aleem says: 1. Both the boy and girl can talk to each other over phone in the mean time since their marriage proposal is agreed between two families and a probable time-period is setup to finalize it. 2. It is also the Sunnah of Rasulullah (SAWS) to create a lovely period/situation between boy and girl before marriage. I would like to know, whether the answers given by the Aleem are right according to Islamic Shariah. 3710 views
Q. What says Uluma-e-Karam in the light of Quran-o-Sunnah: There is a practice in our area according to which Nikah is done in proper Islamic way at the time of engagement but at the time of rukhsati, again Nikah is done in the same way. Uluma doing so admit the fact that once Nikah is done at the time of engagement, it is not necessary to repeat it at the time of rukhsati however they says it is better to repeat it ( or renew it ) at the time of rukhsati. It is necessary to mention here that it is an integaral part of the marriage ceremony in our area to arrange a function of doing nikah on the evening of Shabe-uroosi in which all close relatives participate. So if this function is not done, there would be confusion in the mind of relatives. My question is: ? whether this practice of repeating nikah is according to Quran-o-Sunnah and is there any evidence available in Sunnah. ? Is there any Hadees proving that this practice is forbidden. ? Then in case there is no evidence available in Sunah regarding allowing or disallowing, whether one can be allowed to repeat nikah for the sake of making people?s mind clear. 3050 views

Does she need to change her practices and her perspective .. What all the grounds on which i should make her understand and decide on marrying her. Further i am the one who has proposed her,and promised that everyone will agree to our decision,but know if i turn back saying that marrying her is not jaiz/allowed, will i not be held responsible for betraying her in the eyes of sharia.
