I wish to get nikkahfied in Makkah or Madinah.
This is mainly to avoid extra unnecessary pomp and show which happen under the name of tradition in our culture but also to keep it simple and while at it, earn some sawaab, perform umrah etc.
My question is: Has anyone attempted this before? or plan on doing this? Share some knowledge.
2nd Q How do you view this? I know already that desi people like to make/listen to juicy stories about others, who gave what, and how much, who was invited, if they are coming then we aren’t, how fast did one family spend resources etc hence the reason for my strategy. But i know still people will talk, that perhaps I’m being cheap trying to save money (its NOT, think about it, flying two families to Makkah for umrah: its not cheap) or its just another form of showing off holiness. Perhaps it is so. But what are your views?
Frankly, I would be content with doing a court marriage as it is just to show society that two people are now together legally. But even that has its own negative connotations.
You have my full support. Mashallah, it’s so nice that young people have started thinking like that than following traditions blindly. Hey it’s your money, if you want to have a nikah done in Makkah/Madina and perform Umrah too, what better blessings can u get to begin your Life-Long relationship.
. but most weddings do end up being very-in between, with some rassams and cutting out others.. but yah wahtever u wanna do, do it because you want to not because ur a slave to “society”
