The ruling on giving money to the marriage officiant
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. His other question says: Is it permissible to give some money to the marriage officiant, whether he asks for it or not?
Answer:
As for asking, he does not ask for anything below the marriage fee; because the Ministry of Justice granted him permission without him asking for anything or taking a salary from the Ministry of Justice. But if something is given to him by the groom or the bride's family, and they give it to him without him asking for it, there is nothing wrong with him accepting it. Yes.
