my question is can we have rukhtasi and walima on the same day?
like if we get our nikkah done one day and after 2 days we get our
walima and rukhtasi done .. is it possible according to islam?
coz i heard some people sayin no its not allowed we do walima after the rukhtasi its suppose to be seaparte
cwould me nice is someone help me out
Re: Question on walima and rukhtasi
Yes you can and that's how you should do it anyway. Rukhsati doesn't exist in Islam, the nikkah is the marriage contract and once you have entered into that contract then that's it really. The dinner for guests to signify the marriage can and should be done when you have your nikkah.
Re: Question on walima and rukhtasi
hmm ok ty but how come some people say u can do walima only after spending a nite with ur husband
i dont get all the concept
Re: Question on walima and rukhtasi
the marriage is required to be consumated, from what I understand, before you have your valima.
Re: Question on walima and rukhtasi
^not necessarily. But I can see how some people would like you to believe that.
Re: Question on walima and rukhtasi
You don't have to have consumated the marriage before the valima.
Re: Question on walima and rukhtasi
its more about culture than religion…cuz I have heard other Pakistanis say this too.
Re: Question on walima and rukhtasi

They say that but in shariah, Walimah can take place without having intercourse.
Re: Question on walima and rukhtasi
You said it. All these so called "ceremonies" do not even exist in Islam and yet we celebrate them without even thinking for a bit if I am doing something according to Shariah or against Shariah.
Re: Question on walima and rukhtasi
i am gonna make my wedding as simple as possible i am gonna have nikkah and than walima and rukhsati together
Re: Question on walima and rukhtasi
In regard to the original question, you can have a valima after your nikah. In Islam, the girl's family is not obligated to throw a shaadi party and rukhsati is not a concept recognized in Islam. However, the guy is obligated to host a valima. Some couples nowadays throw one combined party after the nikah. Remember people, the valima celebrates the marriage, not the sex act.

raatkirani: good post :k:
Re: Question on walima and rukhtasi
valima is just an annoucement to the people you know that this couple is now officially married. while the nikah is just a private ceremony, between the groom, the witnesses and the bride, the valima is a public function.
my cousin had her nikah done in the morning, and the reception in the evening. after that, she lived with her husband.
and the whole you need your marriage consumated...it's such a desi guy's desperate attempt to get some.
Re: Question on walima and rukhtasi
May Allah help you in this cause. Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) said that the best of the wedding is the one that is the least expensive. 
Re: Question on walima and rukhtasi
sorry....I should have posted that my comment does not have any base in Islam.....simply in our often-backwards culture.
Re: Question on walima and rukhtasi
marriage has to be consumated before the walima, my brother just got married and him and his wife are both practicing, they did all the finding out/research, and in islam a marriage has to be consumated before walima takes place, so there we go.

Re: Question on walima and rukhtasi
Simple… :k: … but you will be having a very busy day…honey… 
Re: Question on walima and rukhtasi
Ya I guess.. you can pretty much go for it after nikah... who cares about culture!
Re: Question on walima and rukhtasi
In Islam, consummation just means living together. It doesn't mean announcing to the world that you had sex, which would be totally contradictory to the teachings of Islam and Prophet Muhammad pbuh. A lot of people are unable to consummate right away for various reasons and that doesn't make their marriage or their valima haram.
