Taking permission from one’s father over the phone to get married

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: My father and my mother has been divorced and I live with my mother. My father lives far from us and does not want to have any contact with me. I want to be in contact with him but he does not want to. I am getting married soon so can I just take permission from him over the phone or is his presence necessary at the time of nikkah?

Bismillaah

A: Taking his permission over the phone is sufficient.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
