Q: I want to marry a girl of my choice.. My mother and father both agreed upon this.. The girl’s parents also agreed upon this.. But their will be a gap of a year as they agreed upon. But due to Islamic reasons and due to sins, we want to perform a secret nikaah to stop sins and to have the mercy of Allah SWT.. When the time comes we will perform nikaah before everyone. Pls guide me..
A: You should do the nikaah and inform your folks that the nikaah has been done. Don’t do it secretly and not inform the folks, as this creates complications.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
