The answer

Linguistically, a contract (aqd) is binding and tightening. Technically, it is the binding of the parts of a transaction through offer and acceptance, or the connection of offer with acceptance in a lawful manner that establishes its effect in its proper place. If a contract exists with its conditions, the marriage (nikah) is complete. It is not a condition to write it, document it, or register its terms, as these are additional matters for the purpose of documenting rights and preventing disputes.
