Re: Wedding Rasams

This one is not a rasm. This one is actually included in their sect to offer “Shukkaranay kay nafal”

Re: Wedding Rasams

That’s the most cutest thing ever. I saw it on a Youtube video a few days ago, but I was wondering the permissibility of it in Islam.

I know most of these are not Islamic though…

I like most rasams, they add colour, fun and individuality to weddings.
When they mix with religion I.e nafl on the brides aanchal then makes me think twice. Each to there own.
I hope my wedding is filled with fun rasams IA and that people carry them on... Althoughhh I do wish that the elders would explain the meaning behind them. Not just its a rasams that's why we're doing it...

Re: Wedding Rasams

there are a lot of pakistani muslimz here, but there are non-muslim people who post here too so its ok to see pictures of how other sects/cultures celebrate their weddings and what rasms they incorporate into their events. its all good :)

Re: Wedding Rasams

If they are not Muslim, then I guess, we can't really say anything.

But, that 2 Rakat Nafl can't be from Hindu. What's that all about? I'm getting some weird thoughts...

We pray namaz for Allah, not someone's aanchal...=/ Where'd they come up with that?

32

Re: Wedding Rasams

are the couple whose pics were intially posted ismaili/agha khaani? A lot of the ismaili families I know have a LOT of hindu influence. I honestly don't know too much about their beliefs so I don't know if that's just the families I happen to know or if it's somehow incorporated in their beliefs. But I have ONLY seen hindu couples do the handprint outside the building thing in the 1st picture so iono.

Re: Wedding Rasams

the ladies above are def muslims - the feet washing with milk is something like fruit veg exchanges (turning into a food fight) between families called chawthi in karachi ... theyre not religious (not for hindus or muslims) but cultural and traditional ... something that is common in the subcontinental areas like pk and india. Anyways, since wastage of food in our religion is not acceptable - these rasms should not be followed.

As for the namaz on the dulhan's anchal - i call that bey-adbi of namaz ... in my family .. after the husband and wife get their private time - they offer 2 rakhas shukraney ki nafl together .. for the first time as a couple!

There are other cute rasms like
on mehndi - the sister of the bride holds the finger of the groom and doesn't let go until they pay up
there is doodh pilai ... both bride and groom sip on milk .. fun cuz u play jokes on the groom
there is jhootha chupai - although adapted from india again but fun and nothing going against religion
there is kheer/methai chakana after the rukhsati at the groom's house
there is the brother sittin in the dulhan's lap jokingly for her to pay up and get him off
rastah rokna - brothers and cousins of the groom before both enter room and from the dulhan's side at the baraat

I think all those rasms which are fun are okay but the wastage of food like milk and fruits and veges is like wtf.

Re: Wedding Rasams

This is the first I'm hearing of praying on the anklet. SubanAllah.

As for other rasms, well, they are going against Islam. It's haram to even touch a non-mahram, so I don't see how brother sitting on bride's lap or the girls touching his finger is OK.

35

Re: Wedding Rasams

Agreed! but unfortunately nowadays that nothing ... when the brides get up to dance .. thts more disturbing for me that holding a finger as the sali / bride's sister is considered a younger sister .. this rasm can also be conducted by the mother, etc. anyways .. in terms of fun and no wastage of food its okay i guess?

^^^ not praying on the anklet ... its anchal .. and i think .. both offering 2 rakhas nafl is better than the anchal thing .. i feel thats bey-adbi.

Re: Wedding Rasams

Yes n they r Jariz the brides name is usman jafri n I m not saying y r they doing these it's their personal preference I m just asking the purpose of these rasms as I have never seen them :)

38

Re: Wedding Rasams

Yes, I am very curious too... I love the cultural significance of such rasams regardless of religion, yet I do wonder what the religious implications are... ???

Rasams that involve and entertain the family and friends a seem much more interesting than weddings prioritizing boring photo shoots and silly slideshows over all else :P

Re: Wedding Rasams
