I dont know what shariah says about this but its very common in people (of pakistan, ofcourse not all) that they dont marry in muharram. Infact one of my cousin is going to get married in few weeks (of muharram) and some of the relatives have declared that they wont attend the marriage (many of them dont even pray 5 times a day) because of muharram.

Is there any prohibition? Before Ashura , on Ashura or after Ashura. Discuss all related matters.

It is permissible to marry during the month of Muharram. There is absolutely nothing wrong in doing so. There is no reason for being sceptical to marry in Muharram.

i have noticed this too, also they don't listen to music for first 10 days of muharram, but after that they are fine with it lol, they also keep the ashoorah fast with the intention that it is in the remembrance of hadhrat Hussain R.A

I have also come across Pakistanis who don't marry or travel within the month of safar as they believe this is bad luck

[Soassesaisp]

This belief is one of the many misconceptions associated with the blessed month of Muharram.

I shall reproduce the relevant part of an article written by Mufti Taqi Usmaani detailing this superstition below,

"Another misconception about the month of Muharram is that it is an evil or unlucky month, for Sayyidna Husain, Radi-Allahu anhu, was killed in it. It is for this misconception that people avoid holding marriage ceremonies in the month of Muharram. This is again a baseless concept, which is contrary to the express teachings of the Holy Quran and the Sunnah. If the death of an eminent person on a particular day renders that day unlucky for all times to come, one can hardly find a day of the year free from this bad luck because every day is associated with the demise of some eminent person. The Holy Quran and the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, have liberated us from such superstitious beliefs."

Hope this has helped to clarify matters.

I think most people don't really understand other peoples motives for doing or not doing something, and simply make assumptions without knowledge.

The avoidance of marriages in muharram is not because people consider it to be prohibitied, unlucky, haraam or whatever reason can be mentioned here. I accept that there are some who don't really know why they avoid it, but the majority of people who avoid marriages in Muharram do it simply out of respect and love they have for the Prophet sallallaho alaih wa aalihi wasallam and his family. It is the month in which Imam Hussain, one of the most beloveds of the Messenger of Allah was martyred with his companions, and when this day comes, those with a soul and mercy in their hearts choose to remain sensitive and show their respect.

I think its only human and natural e.g. every year when the day that my grandfather passed away comes, I see my grandmother and father and his siblings all sad on that day because it brings back the memories of their father (not that they dont remember him the rest of the year, but that day has its place). On that day they would spend most of their time doing good deeds, reading the Quran and making dua for him. The last thing they would want to do is go on a wedding and enjoy themselves, when that can easily be re-arranged for some other day.

So why do people have such a difficulty understanding this in the context of Imam Hussain, for whom authentic hadith state that the prophet himself cried when Jibraeil brought him the soil from Karbala -- you could ask, it hadnt happend at that time, so why was the Prophet sad? I think we need to stop being too insensitive ... though im sure we are not this insensitive when it comes to our immediate loved ones.

May Allah show us all the straight path and forgive our lapses.

On the contrary many people feel that due to the martyrdom of Hadhrat Husain it is prohibited to marry. Do they hold such beliefs upon the death of Rasulullah ? Did the Sahaabah or the Tabi-een ever not marry due to such perceived hurt feelings on these dates? If so please provide the evidence where this was the case?

What was greater than the death of our Rasulullah ? Could any hurt be greater than this? However, we do not have any reports from the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama'ah that on this day one should not marry to commisserate on the death of Rasulullah .

If this is a personal issue that one does not want marry on that day due to whatever reason this is not prohibited but when it is linked specifically to an occasion and it becomes a beleif of many people which it has it becomes the duty of the Ulama to state this is baseless.

May Allah forgive me for any mistakes.

Benefits of marriage in muharram. The best marriage hall is available for cheaper rates, food also will be cheaper, gold will be cheaper.

May Allah put barkat in your marriage - I know of a few alims, that actively encourage marriages in Muharram, due to its blessings & also as a way to quash this bida'h...

I have also, (fairly recently) discovered that people consider getting married between small & big eid, 'bad luck'! I wonder where that came from?
