In the Name of Allaah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salaamu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullaahi wa-barakaatuh.

Brother in Islaam,

The procedure for renewing one’s nikaah is the same as that of a new nikaah. In the enquired situation, the procedure of renewing your nikaah was correct. We advise you to make tawbah and istighfaar for such utterances and repeat your shahaadah if you haven’t yet. In the future, think before you speak. Don’t jeopardize your imaan by making such comments^[1].

And Allaah Ta’aala Knows Best.
