Web Cam / Internet Weddings are Islamic

Darul Uloom - Deoband, one of the oldest and prestigious Islamic seminaries in the world at Deoband has issued a Fatwa / Decree in India as per which it sanctions the Islamic weddings that take place over the Internet via web cam or Internet nikahs. The fatwa was declared after two couples got married over the Internet.

One of the head clerics at Deoband said: "The Internet assumes the role of a lawyer in such cases and is, therefore, competent to formally supervise the "Ijaab" (offer of marriage) and "Qabool" (acceptance) made by the bride and bridegroom."

Pl. note that earlier the same Islamic seminary has issued the Fatwas like Mobile ringtones are un-islamic, read "Quran Verses As Ringtones, Not Allowed". Then recently they declared Suicide is 'Un-Islamic'. Then there was Co-education system is “unlawful” as such an arrangement in colleges and universities spawn a “number of evils”. As per this decree boys & girls cannot study in the same college / university.
