The ruling on the bride dancing at her wedding reception
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He also says: Among the customs and traditions prevalent among us is for the bride to dance in the middle of the guests at her wedding reception, wearing a wedding dress that is usually not covering of her body.
We ask for guidance in this matter.
May Allah reward you with the best reward.
Answer:
If it is only among women, with no men present, then there is no blame on her dancing among them while maintaining modesty, such that only what is customary to be seen is visible, like the head, hands, and feet, and the like, while she covers the rest of her body. However, there is no objection to her dancing among them with her head exposed, and the like; there is nothing wrong with that, especially among women. A woman’s awrah (part of the body that must be covered) among women is what is between the navel and the knee. But it is better and more preferable for her to cover her chest and legs. However, there is no blame on her dancing with her head exposed among women.
As for if there are men present, it is not permissible. This is what is wrong, and it is forbidden. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
