Question
Some say we aren’t allowed to conduct events of happiness such as marriage in the month Muharram and Safar as these are days of mourning and sadness due to the death of Husain Ibn Alee رضي الله عنه and other members of his family ?
Text Answer
وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته
Tell them that if that was true , then the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم would have informed us about it . Rather he married Safiyya in the month of Muharram and it was a famous and a well-known feast and the Muslims were greatly happy during that . In that month , the ruling of Hijab was revealed and the Muslims rejoiced in that too. All months are for Allah عز وجل , and no one can prevent what is permissible in them except with evidence. And Allah عز وجل knows best .
