I ran into this old friend of mine, who recently had a wedding. So my sister and I were discussing the conflict between being a religious hijaabi and throwing an all-star expensive extravagant wedding.
Girlfriend had an all-out 7 day extravaganza, really expensive dress, awesome food selection (makes a chinese buffet look cheap), ridiculously expensive resort area, and gave herself a ridiculously expensive honeymoon to boot with pictures and videos all over facebook.
So, hijabs are done for modesty. How can you be a modest person wearing a hijab and have the most extravagant wedding ever…when you come from a country where people die of hunger every night and get treated like dogs for being poor?

What are your thoughts?
just cos she wears a hijab, doesnt make the gal perfect! plus if she had the means to throw such a wedding, without bankrupting herself, why not? just maybe invite a few homeless people along to sort of kind of justifiy the extravagance!
Just because you wear hijab, doesn't mean you can't have an extravegant wedding imo. Its one of the biggest days of a girls life...and should be memorable!! If she can afford it then good on her..
But it's okay if your nonhijabi girl friend does it? I've seen nonhijabi thrwo bigger wedding then that without any guilt when they come from a country where people die of hunger every night and get treated like dogs for being poor.

Know of Queen Rania?
You expect stuff like that from people going to hell.
so would it be ok, if a non hijaaban did the same thing?
one is supposed to be modest/ do things in moderacy because that's what islam is about. As someone has already said, hijabi sistahs aint perfect, they, like us, are subject to making mistakes/ indulgence.

I never said she's going to hell. For all I know I can go to Hell and I am a hijabi, and she to heaven cuz she donated more then I ever can.. But I'm saying, did you see her wedding pictures? It was an extravant wedding...I don't have an issue with it. She had the means to do it. That's fine with me. But Im wondering why don't you have an issue with that? Just because she's a non hijabi? Who says all hijabis go to heaven? No one.
So assuming you think the non-hijaabi is on the same playing field, regardless, some of you think an overly extravagant wedding is morally wrong?
Then why do religious people have extravagant weddings?
The same reason nonreligous people have extravagant weddings. To show off their wealth, becasue they can, etc. The same reason queen rania did. Let Alllah judge them. YOu go and worry about your life and afterlife, and not what other people do in their spare time.
Then why do religious people have extravagant weddings?
because they're humans and make mistakes. Just because one is religious, you shouldn't expect her/him to be perfect all the time, that's just delusional.
If u can afford it, y not, hijab or no hijab what does it have to with a wedding, on the other hand MODESTY well … I dont see anything wrong wid dat :k:
