Question
I wanted to ask if signing a Heter Iska with a pre-dated date poses a problem? After all, there are acquisitions in Heter Iska, and it seems to be a pre-dated document! Would it help if we write the date of signing under the signature? Would proof from an email correspondence thread showing the signature was made later than the date be helpful?
Answer
Hello,
If a new date is written and signed, it is effective.
