Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 1466/1147=H)

(1) Walima is a feast that is presented to relatives, the poor and needy people as a token of thanks after nikah and meeting of the bride and groom.

(2) Walima is not wajib (compulsory) but only sunnah.

(3) This is an un-Islamic custom; therefore it should be abandoned.

Q. What says Uluma-e-Karam in the light of Quran-o-Sunnah: There is a practice in our area according to which Nikah is done in proper Islamic way at the time of engagement but at the time of rukhsati, again Nikah is done in the same way. Uluma doing so admit the fact that once Nikah is done at the time of engagement, it is not necessary to repeat it at the time of rukhsati however they says it is better to repeat it ( or renew it ) at the time of rukhsati. It is necessary to mention here that it is an integaral part of the marriage ceremony in our area to arrange a function of doing nikah on the evening of Shabe-uroosi in which all close relatives participate. So if this function is not done, there would be confusion in the mind of relatives. My question is: ? whether this practice of repeating nikah is according to Quran-o-Sunnah and is there any evidence available in Sunnah. ? Is there any Hadees proving that this practice is forbidden. ? Then in case there is no evidence available in Sunah regarding allowing or disallowing, whether one can be allowed to repeat nikah for the sake of making people?s mind clear. 3050 views
