Re: Nikkah in masjid or on stage?

errr my husband is now a na-mehram.. GS makes me laugh..
Once the nikah is done, the guy is mehram for the girl.
but anyway
I had my nikah in masjid with about 10 people there. Kept it simple and nice.
I didn't have any khutba or anything.. my nikahnama is exactly half page long! My nikah was performed by an Egyptian Imam of my mosque.

Actual definitions of terms are a pesky thing, aren't they? Much easier to just use the term without understanding it, and they get huffy/sarcastic when people point it out.

Completely agree!

23

Not sure what you are trying to say.. my point is.. once the nikah is performed, the guy is a mehram.. who does it.. how many people are there... where its performed.. its a totally different topic..

If you are telling that my husband is not my mehram.. umm idk what to say!

Re: Nikkah in masjid or on stage?

Husbands fall into a separate category. I already explained the concept in some detail a few posts above (#19). Feel free to go read that.

Re: Nikkah in masjid or on stage?

Nah, I better not have my wife-to-be on the stage with me being shown to the rest of the ummah. Oh wait, there will be no stage inshaAllah! :)

26

so hence the Burkha is invented :k:

but what if she wanna sit on stage :hmmm: ..

Re: Nikkah in masjid or on stage?

How can a nikkah be done on stage though? I mean, I've seen it being performed with the bride and groom next to one another. But Islamically, aren't they suppose to be separated with the imam asking them separately too? And are the guy and girl just suppose to say qabool hai or do they recite something from the Qur'an? I see different things that it's a bit confusing.

28

So you had nikkah with your wife in burka on stage since you failed to have it in masjid?? :hmmm:

There’s no burka or anything like that. It’s gonna be segregated like all the weddings in family, one side for ladies and one side for men. hence no fitna :k:

29

na she don’t wear burkha, i hate it very much !

but you said she is not gonna come on stage.. i didn’t get that :hmmm: ..

Re: Nikkah in masjid or on stage?

It's actually encouraged Islamically to do it in front of many people.

31

and which category is that??? :S

Husband is the most mahram person a woman can have.... Mahram doesnt just mean who u can marry or who u cant .... it means with whom u should do parda and from whom u shouldnt. marahm ppl are the ones where free mixing is allowed.

32

explain

33

Actually, it does...it's a fairly simple concept that I already explained to you. The word is literally derived from the term "haraam"...which is why it specifically refers to those with whom marriage is haraam. It really is unfortunate when someone is so ignorant they can't even understand that they're wrong** after** it's been explained to them.

I'm not going to waste anymore time arguing this. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't force her to drink.

Re: Nikkah in masjid or on stage?

^^Thankyou for not wasting anymore time! :)

35

with that poster's explanation.. my husband is still a na-mehram.. LOL..

Once nikah is performed, husband is mehram.. i don't understand when he/she says brother/father etc are mehram but not husband.. seriously??!!!

lets ignore and move on with the topic.

Re: Nikkah in masjid or on stage?

Umm for us nikah is normally done at the wedding venue, with the girl bein present in a separate room whilst the groom has his done on the stage.. once nikah is completed, then the bride does her entrance.. doesnt beat getting it done at the masjid but still holds jus as importance.

37

Re: Nikkah in masjid or on stage?

I would definitely do my Nikkah on my baraat and idk how it happens usually but in my family and most weddings I've seen the bride and groom are seperate. The groom is on the stage and the bride is in another room and once it's done, she joins him on stage. I just hope through all this I can still make my brothers run back and forth w/ the nikkah pen because I MUST sign w/ the same pen. >.< yes, I'm very sentimental.

Generally, they say it is so that the public knows that this marriage took place and that no secrets are kept about their marriage. I’ve heard this from a lecture at our local masjid as well.

Re: Nikkah in masjid or on stage?

my nikkah was in the masjid, and we had made a stage there. It was really pretty..one side were ladies and the other side were men (think of it as a church with pews), and I walked in the middle with my brothers on each side of me. Hubby and I wanted our nikkah ceremony (including the khutbah) to be the major part of our wedding, and wanted everyone to witness it - all of our 300 closest relatives and friends. We also wanted each of us present on the stage during the nikkah, so I got to say my duas and my acceptance in front of everyone. Everyone thought that was a great idea, especially for little kids to witness, since half of them think a shadi is just a place where you eat and dance and the bride cries because it's time to finish the party.
