Many Islamic scholars recommend Friday as a good day for marriage (Nikah) in Islam, based on its general blessedness.
While there is no specific verse in the Quran or Hadith explicitly mandating a particular day for marriage, Friday holds a special significance in Islam. Here's why:
- General Blessedness: Friday (Jumu'ah) is considered the most blessed day of the week in Islam. The Friday prayer (Salat al-Jumu'ah) is a congregational prayer of great importance.
- Scholarly Recommendation: The Hanbali jurist Imam Ibn Qudama, among other scholars, recommended holding the marriage contract on a Friday due to its blessed nature.
Therefore, while marriage is permissible on any day of the week, Friday is often preferred due to its overall auspiciousness and the recommendations of scholars. There is no prohibition against marrying on other days. The focus should be on ensuring the marriage is conducted according to Islamic principles, regardless of the specific day.
