The answer

Khadijah's uncle, Amr ibn Asad, was the one who solemnized the marriage contract of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, with Khadijah, and not Waraqah ibn Nawfal. This is what the majority of historians and biographers have favored. Islam has affirmed marriage contracts that took place during the جاهلية (pre-Islamic era of ignorance), and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did not order their renewal.
