Assalamalaikum,
I am 21 and engaged, pilot by profession, I can’t get married before the age of 26 , this is a restriction from my profession and just because of this official restriction my parents are not marrying me and I have a fear that we will commit sin because we talk and meet, and we can’t control this natural feeling, I want to ask what are the primary requisites of Nikah, is Nikah valid without informing Wali, despite of the fact he allows me to marry. Can we make Nikah in secret with 2 Shahid and Mehr, without informing our parents now? and I have read that the Hanafi school allows Nikah without a Wali. Please tell me who is answering my questions and what is your degree (alim/mufti) and by what school of though you are answering me (hanafi/malik/hanbal/shafi)
