Dar Al-Ifta Egypt Denounces Nafha Marriage
The Egyptian Dar Al-Ifta has warned against a marriage arrangement called "Nafḥah Marriage," considering it invalid and unlawful because it violates the pillars and conditions of a valid marriage in Islamic law. The Grand Mufti of Egypt clarified that this type of marriage is conducted without a wali (guardian), public declaration, or formal documentation, and involves pre-arranged agreements regarding dowry, divorce, and paternity of children. Such practices threaten individuals' rights and expose women and children to legal and financial problems, potentially leading to disputes over lineage, inheritance, and other rights. The Dar Al-Ifta emphasized that a valid marriage is based on affection and stability, safeguarding the rights of all parties involved. Any relationship lacking the conditions prescribed by Sharia is not considered a valid marriage, and it is advised to consult legitimate religious authorities when encountering such unfamiliar contracts.
