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.

قال عامة العلماء إن الشهادة شرط جواز النكاح
(
بدائع الصنائع، كتاب النكاح، بيان الشهادة فيه: 2/523؛ ديوبند)

وقد روي عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه نهى عن نكاح السر والنهي عن السر يكون أمرا بالاعلان لأن النهي عن الشيء أمر بضده وروي عنه صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه قال أعلنوا النكاح ولو بالدف ولنا ما روي عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه قال لا نكاح إلا بشهود وروي لا نكاح إلا بشاهدين
(
المرجع السابق)

قال: بلغنا عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه قال: “لا نكاح إلا بشهودوبه أخذ علماؤنا رحمهم الله تعالى

(كتاب المبسوط، كتاب النكاح، باب النكاح بغير شهود: 5/28؛ الفكر)

قوله (وشرط حضور شاهدين) أي يشهدان على العقد

(رد المحتار، كتاب النكاح: 3/21؛ سعيد)

And Allah knows best

Wassalaamu `alaykum
