Is this an Islamic Nikkah? need help

**Unite1** · 12-03-2009

Is it allowed in Islam to have a nikkah in a simple wedding hall instead of having it at home if if the house cant even accommodate the immediate relatives ?? Will the wedded couple loose the blessings of an simple Islamic Nikkah?????

who says the nikkah HAS to be in the house? can't it be in the masjid.

obviously the legal contract at the masjid, but what i meant was the get-together

as-salamu alaykum

I cannot find a scholarly answer at the moment and I hate put forward my own words.

Wedding party can be done at any place, insha'Allah, it does not have to be masjid or home. It is encouraged to invite more people so if they don't fit in a house then there is nothing wrong with arranging a bigger place. However, you will have to make sure that such wedding party is free of evil things and doesn't violate the Shari' rulings (i.e., free mixing).

and Allah knows best
