Question

Is there anything said against performing Nikah in Muharram, with emphasis in the time of saffar? I am to be married on the 17th February which is the 10th day of muharram. Does saffar have any implications or impediments on marriage? jazakAllah Khair.

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

There is nothing wrong in marrying in the month of Muharram or in Safr or any time of the year. It was a belief of the time of Jaahiliyyah (pre-Islamic era) that the month of Safr was a bad luck month. Rasulullah corrected this wrong belief and said there is (no bad luck) in Safr.

And Allah knows best

Wassalam
