Spreading news of the marriageBrother, I have asked, and he says it's not HARAAM. Don't make Halal thing Haraam by yourself.
A valid marriage requires two witnesses and a wali from bride side.
You don't have to announce it on a local mosque's loud speaker, or a FM radio station.
No basis for this fatwa.
2 witnesses and a wali from bride's side is the only requirement. Even a Nikah Khuwan is not required and marriage isn't needed to be registered.
This is now getting interesting.. read the above quoted text again.
Concealed relationship is the one in which a couple is the only witness of the marriage. But when they bring witnesses to it (two sane Muslim witnesses), the marriage is valid.
I have a question.. If someone has a wife in Lahore and he contracts another marriage in Islamabad.. and he announces the second marriage to the whole city.. will it be valid or he must announce it in Lahore as well?
Sheikh Al-Fawzān stated: It is obligatory, or even a condition according to some of the Scholars to spread the news of the marriage. Either way, it is a must to do so – and the intent behind announcing the marriages is that they are not kept secret.
The Prophet said, “Announce the marriages.” (Ahmad and Al-Hākim) He also said, “Announce this marriage and strike the drum for it.” (Tirmidhi and Ibn Mājah) The beating of the “duff” (drum) by the women is a type of announcing because whoever hears it, comes to know that a marriage has taken place – and they rejoice, and the people supplicate for the marriage to be blessed. This is not to be accompanied by other musical instruments as that is prohibited by textual evidence. As for specifically playing the drum, then it is allowed on the occasions of marriage for the purpose of announcing the marriage and happiness.
From the types of announcing is to carry out a “waleemah” (a meal or feast for invited guests), either upon the contract of the marriage or upon the consummation of the marriage. The Prophet (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said: “Perform a waleemah (a wedding feast for guests) even if it is with one sheep.” (Bukhari and Muslim)
