The Details of the Question
Is it religiously necessary for two people who stay away from each other for a long time to renew their marriage (nikah)? Submitted by on Fri, 08/04/2016 - 00:08
The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
Even if they stay away from each other for a long time, their marriage is not harmed.
It is necessary to renew marriage in the following cases:
1. When a person exits Islam and becomes a Muslim again;
2. When irrevocable divorce (talaq al-bain) takes place.
Accordingly, if a person stays away from his spouse for a long time, their marriage is not invalidated; there is no need to renew marriage when he returns home. However, they can renew their marriage if they wish. There is no harm in doing it.
