Question
A Shaafi‟ moulana/sheikh in Cape Town told me that a nikah which is witnessed by one male and one female is valid. Is this correct?
Answer
The chap who informed you of this nonsense is a jaahil (moron). According to the Shaafi‟ Math-hab even if there are a hundred females witnessing the Nikah with one male witness, the Nikah will not be valid. Female witnesses are not valid according to the Shaafi‟ Math-hab.
