Re: Nikkah and Rukhsati

I understand the point that an engagement is not the same as a nikkah…i really understand that…i’m just curious as to why you don’t live together?

my point simply is…why is there such a thing as a rukhsati? its something placed on us by culture. nikkah is the REAL thing…i just do not get it

I do not mean to sound crude or anything but if they have their nikkah etc they will live as husband and wife so is there a need for them to also have a rukhsati some time later?

Actually rukhsati is nothing according to Sharia, it is just a customary thing, once they nikafied, i would appreciate if they wait till ruksati so we can have a grand function to celebrate it. But it they are free to decide for their lives.
