Is the marriage considered valid if, during the supplication, the judge invoked in the Urdu language, "O Allah, make this supplication, through the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, as an intercessor"?
It is prescribed to congratulate the couple after the marriage contract with the traditional supplication: "May Allah bless for you, and bless upon you, and combine both of you in good." Any suitable supplication is permissible. It is not permissible to seek intercession from the Prophet (peace be upon him) or any other deceased individuals, as this is major shirk (associating partners with Allah). This does not affect the validity of the marriage contract, as the judge is an authenticator, not a party to the contract.
