Re: No Weddings in January!!!!
today is 11th ziqad so if there will be 29 days of ziqad then 1st zilhaj will be on 29th of nov so the eid will be on 10th of zilhaj that is 8th december and if ziqad is of 30 days then eid will be on 9th dec so if zilhaj month will be of 29 days then 1st moharam will be on 28th of dec and if the zilhaj month will be of 30 days then 1st moharram will be on 29th dec ...i hope now u understand
Re: No Weddings in January!!!!
wow!!
thanks for letting us know- i was wondering when eid was going to be... cos if you did the whole 2mths and 10days after the first eid thing, then eid would be 10th december... but the 8th or 9th is even better!
Re: No Weddings in January!!!!
If you are only supposed to mourn a death no more than 3 days in Islam, I don't see how Islam would forbid weddings in Muharam after 1400 years! Sorry no offense to the shias but I don't really get that its just inconsistant. (and I have shia family myself) I just don't think it makes sense. Can you please find some evidence in Quran or Hadith forbidding weddings and waiting for times of mourning? If you don't feel like having a wedding during that time cause you are sad that's one thing, but saying its some how forbidden in Islam is down right false!
Just a final note, according to Muzammil Siddiqui, who is a really well respected scholar, he says there is nothing in Islam to prevent anyone from having a wedding in Muharram, even in the first ten days. Culturally, we don't do it in the first ten days, but that's an innovation.
Thanks for mentioning that, its totally a Pakistani thing to not have any celebrations in Muharram because they think its supposed to be a month of mourning, it is not from Islam. Do we have any evidence that any of the early Muslims or early scholars ever mentioned against this? I highly highly doubt it. And for those who think its a time of mounring because the family of the Prophet PBUH was killed in this month, then what about when the Prophet PBUH himself passed away, wasnt that day the biggest saddness for the Muslims, so maybe we should skip that month also? I dont mean to disrespect anyone's beliefs, if someone doesnt want to do something at a certain time, then dont, but they shouldnt put these restrictions on others and then try to make it seem as though it has something to do with the teachings of our religion when it doesnt
I am so with you on that one! I don’t believe all that jazz at all. No month is “bad” or “unlucky”. Geez! People need to grow up already! :halo:
Re: No Weddings in January!!!!
yeaa true one on of my czn is getting married in the first 10 days of moharram as they couldnt get any venue for dec ...if my sis in law would have been coming in jan to my shadi would have been in moharram too n our family dont feel bad or would have felt they have committed some kind of gunnah in having shadi in moharram its just a false belief

No one said it is forbidden, mamy people just don't prefer having weddings in muharram. It is just a personal prefrence. If you feel ok go for it, if you want to wait then wait... there is no wrong...
Re: No Weddings in January!!!
In Pakistan, there is a belief that one shouldn’t start anything in Muharram. Is there any bas
