It is compulsory that a Qazi and not any other learned person should conduct mariage?

Question

I am asking again because I don't understand what makes an Imam different from a learned (Quran ,hadith and Sharia)person..

For eg,can my uncle or aunty well versed in Islamc studies,conduct my marriage?

Please answer..any references will be highly appreciated

Salam and thanks

Answer 1

well the Qadi is a judge, so in a Muslim land, you would be making an actual contract in the land and therefore go to the judge, in general for any legal issues.

The imaam(leader of the Muslim community etc.) can also conduct the marriage, specially in Non-Muslim lands, because we don't have a Muslim judge here, and the imaam is the next best person who deals with islamic laws and the other laws of the land.  

As for your uncle conducting the marriage, i don't know its' ruling.

Answer 2

Well why not just go to the Imam. I don't know your situation. But what I am thinking is that an Imam is elected by the people to lead them in prayer and help out their community. Right?

Well you can't say the same for a learned Muslim. They are all over the place. Of course that is a good thing but it is different.

Just go to the Imam.

I hope Allah makes it easy for you.

Peace

EDIT: oh sorry I skipped the Qadi part. sorry.

Answer 3

No i believe only an Imam can. Another learned person is not suitable. An Imam goes through the courses and all until they 'graduate' as Imams. It has been said in the Quran or in Hadiths that an Imam should conduct mariages.

Well no i cant really. I used to go to an Islamic school, and all the islamic teachers there actually went to university and completed their Shariah degress in Saudi arabia. I believe an Imam has more knowlodge on how to conduct it then a learned person. They learn it during uni.

Who the *** gave me a thumbs down. I only answered the question you fukn pricks.
