Question
Please comment on the nikah style which I observed in our Musjid. Men walked in with their bright coloured clothes, some in suits and ties and others in bow tie; heads uncovered; clean (dirty) shaven faces; no signs of being a Muslim, and no consideration at all for the Musjid. These are the Nikahs of today.
Answer
We are living in Aakhiruz Zamaan. The situation will deteriorate still further. One will not be able to find any place for protecting one's Imaan. The Musjids too will be transformed into places of fitnah. We are already observing the fitnah in many ways such as qawwaali sessions in the Musjid, luring women to attend the Musjids, conducting haraam qiraa't competitions in the Musjid, clown and coon marriages, etc., etc. The so-called 'ulama' have brought the Musaajid to this level of filth, fisq and fujoor. If the Imaam, Ulama and trustees of the Musjid had any semblance of Islamic honour and shame, they would never have allowed the clowns and gays permission to pollute the Musjid with their vile presence. It is not permissible to perform Nikahs in the Musjid if fisq and fujoor will be attendant to either the nikah ceremony or to any function subsequent to the nikah even if it is conducted elsewhere. They should arrange for their nikahs to be performed at their venues of fisq and fujoor, not at the Musjid.
