What is the ruling on reciting the Qur'an for the purpose of announcing the marriage?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : They have some of the memorizers of the Qur'an recite the Qur'an during... weddings?
The Shaykh : Yes, this is not permissible. The announcement that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded in marriage, by his saying:Sunan Ibn Majah 1895Da'if (Darussalam), this is what he (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded. As for reciting the Qur'an, it has many and very, very wide areas of application. So it is not permissible to mix this which he (peace and blessings be upon him) legislated—excuse me—he established as a Sunnah, with this which some people consider good. Also, amusement may get mixed with the Qur'an, and this is not permissible. Amusement in the permissible marriage is well known, as you heard earlier in the hadith, and as is observed. So there is no place here for reciting the Qur'an; except if there is a gathering that does not include beating the hand drum prescribed for announcing the marriage. In this case, we also say: there is nothing wrong with it—sometimes—if the reciter recites well and does not sing with the Qur'an in a manner that contradicts the Shari'ah and is excessive.
Other than that?
The Shaykh : Yes, this is not permissible. The announcement that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded in marriage, by his saying:
Announce this marriage, and beat the sieve for it.
أعلنوا هذا النكاح ، واضربوا عليه بالدفOther than that?
