Girl going to the Musjid for her nikaah

· 29 Shawwal 1434 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

My nikah is very soon Insha Allah. My question is about nikah in the Musjid. It is compulsory for a girl to go to Musjid for nikah or it can be done in the girls absence. My father in-law does not want me to come to the Musjid for some reason.

Answer

You should not be present in the Musjid at the time of the nikaah. Instead you should appoint your father or guardian to represent you.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
