Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Announce the Marriage

The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam encouraged that marriages

be announced. Alright, Lee knew earlier, but don't announce them.

Why should you announce a marriage because marriage is not supposed

to be a secret relationship. The whole point of marriage is that

everybody knows. So when they see you together, they know like,

Okay, you're not committing Zina. That's how important it is. So the

reason why you announced the wedding is so that everybody knows

that doesn't mean you have to call the whole world for your wedding.

If you cannot do that, if you like to feed people and you got the

money and no headache, then you can feed a whole stadium if you

want to, but if you're doing it because somebody else did it,

otherwise people are gonna say You know, you didn't call me or

whatever, then all of that, just forget that to do it as an

obligation is not a sunnah. The only reason you announcing you can

announce it in Joomla that's why the best place to have a Nika is

in the masjid because there's going to be people there, you've

announced it, right? It doesn't mean you have to put it into the

papers, but generally the people who you're going to be dealing

with know that now you're married, therefore a marriage should not be

contracted in secret
