The ruling on going for 'Umrah immediately after marriage
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah send you well. A questioner says: In recent times, it has become common among young people to take their wives to perform 'Umrah immediately after the wedding, and most of these young people adhere to this practice. What is the ruling on this action?
Answer:
This is good and lighter than going to foreign lands or to America. The default is to stay in the homes, especially for the newlyweds; staying in the house and settling down is better. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If a man marries a virgin, he stays with her for seven days; if he marries a previously married woman, he stays with her for three days. This is evidence that after marriage, one should settle in the house.
And he should treat his wife with kindness. As for bad customs and traditions,[An-Najm 53:23] financial burdens, dangers, and harms, these are all matters that are prohibited. So Muslims should abandon this bad custom, and the groom should stay in the house and in the country, and perform 'Umrah at another time. 'Umrah at another time.
Meaning, they spend time in the house and in the country until they get to know each other and the marriage settles and continues as intended. 'Umrah is not tied to the wedding; 'Umrah is at any time of the year. As for making it an occasion for the wedding, I fear that this may become a religious innovation (bid'ah) later.
