Calling the girl by a different name during the nikaah

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: My sister’s name is Aay Bee but during the nikaah ceremony the Mufti said “Aay Khan” instead of “Aay Bee”. I just want to ask if this nikaah is valid or do we need to do the nikaah again?

Bismillaah

A: If she is also known as Aay Khan then the nikaah is valid.

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