Re: Is "Rasam-e-Hina" allowed in Islam ?
Very true hannibal.
I just don't see anything in Islam that says you can't gather with family and friends and celebrate someone's marriage. Hence, what someone wants to do with a mehndi ceremony is totally up to them. A person's intention will be judged at the end.
I don't see anyone making haraam or bida'ah 22,000 ruppee burqas that you can now find in Karachi boutiques. So why fuss if someone spends a lot on their marriage ceremony, if they can afford it and it doesn't put them in debt?
