Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Is it permissible to say to the bride and groom on their wedding night, "With prosperity and sons"?
Answer:
There is a problem with this because it is a phrase from the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah). However, some scholars say that it was used in Islam, and there is no harm in saying it. It is better, though, for a person to avoid it and use phrases that have no problem with them. Yes.
