Question

Assalam o Alaikum, I would like to know if one can get married in the month of Moharram or Safar. What is the Islamic ruling on this? Jazakumullah Khair.

Answer

To refrain from any act, marriage, journey, etc. in some months, Muharram, Safar, etc. was a custom of the pre-Islamic era based on suspicion. Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) condemned that by saying, 'Laa Safara' (There is no evil in the month of Safar).

There is no restriction on marrying in any part of the year and neither does any part of the year itself has any negative consequences.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
