Answer:
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
A nikāh by telephone is invalid.The presence of at least two witnesses is a condition for the validity of a nikāh.Therefore, your friend’s nikāh was not valid as there were no witnesses.
Islām forbids casual relationships between non-mahram males and females.You should encourage your friend to stop all such harām relations and pursue the marriage through a halāl channel, such as through one’s family or the local imām.
