Contents The Time and Etiquette for Wedding Wedding Night Customs The Time and Etiquette for Wedding A group of families think that the marriage or wedding ceremonies provide a permit for carrying out whatever carnal desires they please. At the time of the wedding of their children, they commit divinely forbidden acts based on the request of their children, the couple’s friends, or their relatives. They think that this way they make the party more fun.
However, marriage and wedding ceremonies should be accompanied by dignity; nobility; respect; and should be void of sins; forbidden acts and arousing elements. Thus they can be a cause of God’s pleasure and can yield divine blessings. Imam Musa, the son of Jafar (PBUH) said: It is not at all required to abstain from non-forbidden pleasures. Of course, we must be happy during a marriage ceremony and a wedding party.
We should not forget to engage in legitimate means of entertainment like comics, jokes and singing. Even singing wise poetry, meaningful lyrics; pleasant slogans and the customs that are usually among Muslim women in such ceremonies are all fine. It is quite natural to stay up late at these times. The Prophet (Pbuh&hp) said: It is fine to stay up until late in the three following situations: Reciting the Quran; studying to acquire knowledge; accompanying a bride to her husband’s house.

Jaber Ansari said: When the divine Prophet married Fatimah off to Ali, a few narrow-minded people came to him and objected to why he had married her off with a very small amount of nuptial gift. The Prophet (Pbuh) told them that this was not his decision. It was Almighty Allah who married off Fatimah to Ali (Pbuth).
On the night of the wedding, the Prophet (pbuh) prepared his piebald camel. He threw a gown over it and asked Fatimah to ride it. He ordered Salman to pull the camel. He himself followed it from behind. Midway through he heard something come down.
