Have you ever seen a wedding video of a Iranian/persian wedding video of a bride in hijab? Umm no because most woludn't upload it 4 public. They believe in wearing the white dress just like middle easterners and arabs. It's the same as our pakistani brides who wear sleeveless /low back outfits and read the quran and call the maulvi 4 the nikah all dolled up with jwelry and namehrams and dancing and everything. Just because we're used to it as a part of our weddings doesnt make it "right",
There was a pakistani bride who wore literally a boob-tube of a shirt with her gharara. I seriously think those in glass house shouldn't throw stones. Maybe it's just me but making it a generalization is just plain wrong. I duno I don't like it when ppl make them about our traditions/religion so cant be quiet about someone else .
^ You misunderstand. The reason I mentioned Persian weddings was because I was talking about the strange things that go on in Muslim weddings these days, be they Persian or Pakistani. Not because I meant to defend ourselves and say we're much better.
On the authority of Aisha, that she took a woman to her husband, a man among the Ansar. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: “O Aisha did you not have any singing (lit: frivolity) with your procession? Verily the Ansar love such things.” In another version of this hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is reported to have said: “Did you send a servant girl along with her to beat the duff and sing?” …
But a ladies only mehdni with dolki and singing and dancing - no DJ or dance floor etc at home isnt wrong right?
Our fam never does the quran thing either.
But some members of my fam are not allowing for any money at all to spent on like ANYTHING.
Its a Nikkah in the mosque and a home cooked meal for 30-40 people after. Bas.
This uncle of mine is LOADED - I know he is as he is my dads bro and basically yeah.
This puts pressure on other members of family who want to give people gifts or have dholkis are buy a nice dress for their daughter or have a yummy dinner for family.
Its so complicated.
i checked with my qari and he was laughing haha cos he said its a comlicated issue (upsetting in laws, too many people too many views) but as far as i understand it depends on the 'Niyat' if you are having like a mehndi party with ladies applying henna and things like that no hindu rasams then its ok...and only music is duffli (Duff) not dholki :( or just singing because women at the time of prophet pbuh did sing (segregated) (no men around) also you can still have fun and games, Islam doesnt say you cant have fun, just avoid things that are of somone elses religion :D
he also said what u mentioned simple nikkah etc....but he said asian people just dont get it :(
