Delaying marriage

· 9 Jumada II 1435 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

My marriage is after eid. But some of our relatives say that between two Eids the marriage does not suffer. Is it permissible to get married after eid?

Answer

The wrong thing is to delay the marriage. Once the match has been found then it is not at all in keeping with the sunnah to delay the marriage.

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