What are the conditions that must be met in a man to be qualified to conclude marriage contracts, and is this right limited to the Sharia judge or whomever he deputizes? Does this include the Mufti and the Mujtahid? In the absence of a Sharia judge in a certain country, is it permissible for one of the righteous individuals known for their piety to conclude the contract, and what is the ruling on this contract in this case? Is it considered a contract of fornication?
