Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

The method of solemnization of nikah (marriage)

IJAB AND QABOOL (declaration and acceptance) are two pillars of nikah, these make the marriage contract valid.

Before nikah, it is a sunnah for the wali (guardian) to obtain the permission of the girl who should be told that she is being given in marriage to such and such person for a dower of (the amount is to be mentioned clearly) and should be asked as to whether she is agreeable. Then the wali (guardian or her representative) should give permission to the Qadi to proceed with IJAB AND QABOOL (declaration and acceptance). It is a sunnah for the Qadi to sit in front of the bridegroom or facing him and recite the khutbah.
