Doubting whether nikaah had taken place jokingly

· 28 Muharram 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

A few days ago I came to know that nikaah happened jokingly is valid. Since then I have been trying to remember whether I ever happened to jokingly do nikah with any of my cousins or friends. In my knowledge nothing like this has ever happened. But I am in constant doubt what if it has ever happened but I don’t remember. Should i ignore these doubts?

Answer

Don't entertain unnecessary doubts.

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