Is It Permissible To Marry Between Two Eids?
Is it permissible to marry between two eids?
In some regions, with reference to Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, there is a general opinion according to which “One must neither hold a wedding event nor solemnize nikah between the two eids.” This expression has no religious ground. Prophet Muhammad (saw) married to Aisha (ra) on the month of Shawwal, which is between the two eids (Muslim, Nikah, 73). People may get married at any time of the day and and on any day of the year, whenever circumstances allow. This means that there is no specific time period during which getting married is allowed or prohibited. In other words, there is no impediment to get married between the two eids, in religious terms.
