Answer
- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -
Witnesses must have the following characteristics in order for the marriage to be valid. A) To be knowledgeable b) To be an adult c) To be a Muslim d) To be deaf e) To be two men, otherwise one man and two women and f) Both witnesses to hear ijab-kabul directly in the same meeting together. There must be a witness from the groom or the bride - it is not necessary. There is no legal basis for such a condition. The witness may be someone other than the bride and groom. 2463491982
