Calling the girl by a different name during the nikaah

· 14 Jumada II 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

My sister's name is Aay Bee but during the nikaah ceremony the Mufti said "Aay Khan" instead of "Aay Bee". I just want to ask if this nikaah is valid or do we need to do the nikaah again?

Answer

If she is also known as Aay Khan then the nikaah is valid.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
