Is the wording, "I give you my daughter in marriage according to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Prophet," valid in the marriage contract, or must the daughter's name be mentioned, given that there is only one unmarried daughter?

The marriage contract () is valid in the described scenario, as the guardian (wali) pronounced a clear formula and the husband responded with acceptance, in addition to the presence of the other pillars such as the two witnesses and the Mahr (dowry). It is not a condition to mention the wife's name; rather, it suffices to identify her by designation (her presence and being singled out).
