DO YOU KNOW YOU CAN MARRY IN RAMADHAN?


In Islam, there is nothing that prohibits performing marriages at any time of the year.

The only restrictions pertain to consummating marriages during certain times. For instance, it is not allowed to consummate a marriage while fasting, or while one is in a state of consecration or ihram for performing Hajj or `Umrah but  as far as solemnizing marriage is concerned, there is no restriction to conclude it at any time even if this would be on the day of fasting as long as the Walimah and consummation of the marriage take place at night.

It is absolutely fine to do so, as long as you plan to do both the Walimah and consummation of marriage after iftar(breaking of the fast) and not earlier during the day.

Allah says in the Qur’an, (It is made lawful for you to approach your wives (in conjugal relations) on the night of fast. They are garments (of protection) for you and you are garments of (of protection for them))(Al-Baqarah 2: 187).

Therefore, there is nothing objectionable from an Islamic point of view if thenikah is done on the day of fast during Ramadan and the walimahand the consummation take place at night.

May Allah bless us with spouses that are good for us and may we also be the perfect ones for our spouses.

May He grant our marriage wishes even in  Ramadan. Amiin.
