Re: Parts of Pakistani wedding(s) which are permissible/allowed, and which are not.
JazakAllah for pinpointing that.
During the times of Rasool Allah (s.a.w.) there were certain practices which were not prohibited by Rasool Allah (s.a.w). Such as the singing of women, and using daff (sp?) as a musical instrument on certain occasions (Eid, Wedding, etc.), from what I’ve read. Over time and due to geographical differences, what would you say are the equivalent of that in Pakistani society of today? Although it is apparent that a lot of hindu practices were adopted and bundled with what is a marriage ceremony spanning several days, there must be parts which although were not found in Sunnah but do not violate the shariah.
The idea is to seek the balanced approach, neither extreme to the left of what is acceptable, nor the extreme to the right of what is prohibited.
