Advice on Marriage and Combining the Two Prayers on the Wedding Night
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a sister questioner who sent a question saying that my wedding date is approaching, so what does the Shaykh advise me? And are there any words of advice from you, O Shaykh, that I can benefit from in my religion and worldly life with my husband? And is it permissible for the couple to combine the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers on the wedding night, as I heard a fatwa from female university students who issue such rulings?
Answer:
Once the marriage is consummated, you must fear Allah, treat your husband with kindness, and fulfill his rights over you, for this is what Allah the Exalted has commanded. As for combining the two prayers on the wedding night, there is no basis for it, and it is not permissible. Pray each prayer in its proper time. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
