QUESTIONS:

Salaam Alaikum,

1.  In order to discuss and talk with someone of the opposite sex on the
internet, is Mut'a required?

A.l.  No, it is not required.


2.   If so, I understand from your previous reply that the nikah cannot
merely be written over the internet.  But wouldn't it be possible for
those interested in this to talk over the phone and recite the
appropriate words?  Then they could talk freely with one another on line. 

A.2:  Nikah has got to be uttered in words formulated by the Shariah.  If
they are recited on phone, then it will be deemed proper.


With Salaams,

Asgharali M.M. Jaffer
