Excess in wedding feasts during mourning
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abdullah al-Shahri from Abha says: Is there a solution to what is happening these days regarding excess in mourning feasts, where people stay with the deceased's family for three days and leave their work and their families?
Answer:
Yes, the solution is in advice. One should advise them and explain the matter to them, and distribute the fatwas issued by the Permanent Committee regarding the prohibition of these manifestations that have spread among people today. They cost people money and time, and most people dislike this, but they are forced to do it. Distribute the fatwas of the scholars to them. Also, the preachers of the mosques should explain to the people in the Friday sermon that these weddings with exorbitant costs are not permissible. And also, after explanation and advice, the rulers should prevent them from this. Yes.
