What is the ruling on what is called al-shurrah in wedding celebrations?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Ah, greetings and peace. I would like to inform Your Eminence that a very bad, evil, and heinous innovation has appeared in Saudi society, which is what they call al-shurrah in wedding celebrations. They bring in a married man and have him enter with the women after they have covered the bride, as far as I know, in front of the women, and the man comes and writes the al-shurrah.
The Shaykh:
We ask Allah to guide everyone. There is no doubt that this is a good deed, meaning the man enters with the women uncovered, as disbelievers do, and perhaps he did something with his wife that is not appropriate for that.
The questioner:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
Attending them and being with them is not permissible. One may be able to do this, and we ask Allah to guide everyone.
The questioner:
And with that, they expand after every time, once like this, and they expand after that like this.
The Shaykh:
May Allah keep you safe.
