Could you give advise in light of quran&sunnah? A muslim sister did her nikaah in presence of a wali she chose by herself (not her Father), 1 witness (2nd couldn’t come), and her husband to be. Then she left with this man she married. Her parents didn’t agree. I told her this nikaah is not valid. She doesn’t listen. What do you think about the situation?

Narrated `Abdullah bin `Amr: Once the Prophet () remained behind us in a journey. He joined us while we were performing ablution for the prayer which was over-due. We were just passing wet hands over our feet (and not washing them properly) so the Prophet () addressed us in a loud voice and said twice or thrice: “Save your heels from the fire.” washing areas has to be “washed” it can’t replace by wiping-“mash” I would like to know if the above hadith is authentic?
