If modern means of communication ensure against manipulation, and the identity of the husband and guardian is verified, and the two witnesses hear the offer and acceptance, then there is no harm in conducting the marriage through them. This is what Sheikh Ibn Baz and the Permanent Committee have ruled. However, it is more prudent to conduct the contract through an authorized representative (wakil).
