Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
There is no specific form for a marriage contract, but it has conditions without which it is not valid. If these conditions are met, the contract is valid in any form. The questioner must not reside in a non-Muslim country if there is a fear of fitna (temptation/strife), and should seek a Muslim woman for marriage, as marrying women from the People of the Book can lead to corruption. He should also be cautious of forming relationships with women before marriage. For marriage to a non-Muslim woman, it is stipulated that she must be from the People of the Book (Jewish or Christian) and chaste.
