· Issue 799: It suffices for the Seeghah of permanent marriage if the woman says:

زَوَّجْتُ نَفْسِى عَلى الصَّداقِ المَعلومِ

I marry myself to you for the agreed upon dowry

And the man says afterward:

قَبلتُ التَّزْوِيجَ

I accept the marriage

If they authorize a representative for the matrimony, then, it would be sufficient that the representative of the woman says:

 زَوَّجْتُ مُوكَّلَِتي مُوكَلَكَ عَلى الصَّداقِ المَعلومِ

I marry the woman I represent to the man you represent for the agreed upon dowry

And the representative of the man says:

قَبلتُ لِمُوكَّلي التَّزْوِيجَ

I accept the marriage on behalf of the man I represent for the agreed upon dowry.

It suffices in temporary marriage if the woman says, after specifying the duration (of the marriage agreement) and the dowry:

 زَوَّجْتُ نَفْسِى في المُدَّة المَعْلُومَة على المَهر المَعلومِ

I marry myself to you for the agreed upon time period for the agreed upon dowry.

And the man says:

قَبلتُ التَّزْوِيجَ

I accept the marriage

Or the representative of a woman says:

مَتَّعْتُ مُوكَّلَِتي مُوكَلَكَ في المُدةِ المَعلومةِ علي المَهْرِ المَعْلُومِ

I marry the woman I represent to the man you represent for the agreed upon time for the agreed upon dowry
