Ukhti Fillah Rahimakumullah

Evil practices that occur during the weddings !
Khutbah from Shaykh ‘Abdul Muhsin Al-Qasim, Imaam of Masjid An-Nabawee
O Muslims! Gratitude for a favour from Allaah :

- can never be expressed by sinning;
- the wedding night is one of the greatest favours of Allaah
- upon the husband and the wife, and
- it is impossible that ones gratitude to Allaah
- for it is expressed
- by the women being practically nude
- (i.e., wearing clothes that expose too much of the body)
- even if that is only in front of other women,
- for this is a contradiction of chastity and bashfulness.
We must know that women are weak and must be prevented from doing such acts by their guardians.
- Music during weddings is also prohibited,
- except that which Islaam has made permissible,
- such as women beating a tambourine;
- Photography is also prohibited and
- the person doing it is cursed and promised Hell,
as the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, said:
“Every depicter (of animate object) is in Hell.”
It is possible that photographs of women could accidentally get into the hands of those for whom it is not permissible to view, which would lead the marital house being ruined.
Moreover, the scholars of Islaam have ruled that this is forbidden.
Also, accepting an invitation to a wedding which includes prohibitions is not permissible unless one is sure that they can prevent such prohibitions from taking place.
We must also know that excessive expenditure during weddings and flaunting this has
- a very bad effect on the husband and is one of the traps of Satan,
- if only people would spend this money to build a home for the couple or
- pay off the husbands debts,
- then it would be much better for them.
