Praying Two Rak'ahs for the Couple on the Wedding Night
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks: Is it a recommended practice (sunnah) for the couple to pray two rak'ahs on the wedding night? And did this come from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
Yes, it is recommended (mustahabb) for him, when he enters upon his wife in her home, to pray two rak'ahs and supplicate to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) to make her a blessing and to grant him righteous offspring from her. This is among the praiseworthy matters. I do not recall this being reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but the scholars mentioned it in the chapter on marriage.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you,
