I have a question regarding if the brides guardian (wali) has to physically present at the time of marriage. Is it possible to get verbal(by phone) or written approval from the wali prior to the marriage contract? This is due to perhaps the wali lives far away from a different country from the bride, and old age and costly travel expenses, time etc.
If anyone can link to a fatwa or know the answer, please post it.
Jazakallah Khair!
