The chairman appealed to parents on the need to imbibe spirit of moderation.
He advised that marriage be made simple and affordable by parents and would-be suitors. This is in line with teachings of Islam. Aminu noted that involvement of some innovations into wedding activities had made marriage unaffordable and very difficult to attain, especially among Muslims.He identified unnecessary innovations into wedding activities, such as mother’s day, Fulani day and unveiling of the bride, known as “budan Kai” in Hausa, as some of the innovations that caused unnecessary spending. “After wide consultation with relevant stakeholders, the Muslim Council is hereby advising against all unnecessary innovations that are making weddings very costly and difficult among Muslims. “Such un-Islamic activities include organising of mother’s day, Fulani day and unveiling of the bride, known as “budan kai. “All the activities mentioned above have no tenets under Islamic marriage law and therefore the council is now calling for a halt of all the activities in order to make marriage very simple and affordable as enshrined in Islam,” Aminu said.
He pointed out that what people currently spend on such unnecessary innovations during wedding ceremonies are forbidden by Islamic culture. He observed that many couples end up paying back loans which they expended on such unnecessary innovations during their wedding.
The Benefits
According to the chairman, marriage is an act of worship and joy between the couple. He said that anything that would disrupt the worship of God and joy of the marriage should be avoided. He therefore appealed to parents to show understanding and support the council in its efforts at making marriage affordable, in line with teachings of Islam. Also speaking, Alhaji Ardo Bamanga, the District Head of Mayo Belwa, called on Muslims to always stick to the teachings of the Qur’an and tradition of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), in all their dealings.
