What is the Islamic ruling on performing Nikah in the month of Safar?

Darulifta Ahlesunnat

Question

  What do the blessed Ulama [Islamic scholars] and Muftis [Islamic jurists] state regarding the following matter: Is it forbidden in Shari’ah to perform marriage and other such acts in the month of Safar?

بِسْمِ اللہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ

  It is undoubtedly permissible to perform Nikah in the month of Safar. Some people do not perform marriage in the month of Safar because of holding a belief that evils and troubles descend in this month and it is an unlucky month. This belief is merely invalid and rejected, having no basis. In fact, people used to consider it unlucky in the age of ignorance, so the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم forbade [the people] from considering it unlucky.

وَاللہُ اَعْلَمُ  عَزَّوَجَلَّ  وَرَسُوْلُہ اَعْلَم صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم
