Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: Is it obligatory to announce the marriage?
Answer:
Yes, indeed. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 1895Da'if (Darussalam) meaning with the hand drum. It is obligatory to announce the marriage so that it is not secret and unknown. This is because a secret marriage resembles unlawful sexual intercourse, and one may be accused of it. So this marriage is to be announced. This is recommended: that it is announced and not kept secret.
