The questioner : For a man to publicize his marriage while avoiding falsehood? We ask for your guidance?
The Shaykh : The best way for that is, first, that it be done with witnesses, because this is part of its publicization.
The questioner : Very well.
The Shaykh : Second, that it be announced by inviting people to it; the friends, relatives, and neighbors are invited.
Third: that the women beat the hand drums on the night of the entry and sing songs, but on the condition that the songs are not lewd.
The questioner : Good, good.
The Shaykh : Or provocative, or exaggerated, or similar to that which is forbidden.
Fourth: with the wedding feast, a feast for the wedding, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded it. He said to 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf: And among the modern methods with us are the car convoys that travel in the wedding procession. Also, the lights that are lit in the house of the entry. But here I warn about a matter that some people do in the wedding party procession, which is that they honk the car horns, the car horns, in a way that disturbs the people in the houses and in the markets. In reality, there is no need for this; rather, it is something disturbing, and a person should not adopt what disturbs his Muslim brothers. Yes, that is right.
