Re: Nikah advice
^what you're talking about is not an accent. if you say "z" instead of "dh," you're saying a completely different word thus you could be saying donkey in arabic instead of judge and to me, thats scary when it comes to reading Quran. its more correct to say qazi is an urdu word if we are changing the sounds completely...if we can pronounce english words with the right sounds (i.e. using an S where its an S and not a T or D), then why not arabic? its cause we dont make the effort. i'm a linguistics fiend, so lets just continue the convo in pm rather than derail the thread (i responded here first cause i dont want people to get the wrong idea about what the proper pronunciation is)
getting back to the topic...
jus wanted to ask when gettin a nikkah done, are the guys side suppose to bring iman?
we have already organised a iman from the local mosque but the guys side are not happy and wanted to bring there own, but my families not happy with this
any advice in what we should do?
each family does their own thing... in our family, the girls side brings the imam but I dont think its worth arguing with your in-laws about...after all, who cares who brings the imam, the point is you just need a Muslim with good character to officiate your nikkah. If his family is adamant about the issue, just let them bring the imam and don't make a big fuss about it.
