By Mu\u1e25addithul \u2018A\u1e63r Sheikh al-\u1e24ad\u012bth Mawl\u0101n\u0101 Mu\u1e25ammad Y\u016bnus Jownp\u016br\u012b<\/strong><\/p>\n

Question:<\/span><\/p>\n

A Fatwa has been published recently that states that it is Sunnah for the family of the bride to do a Dawat (invite and feed people) and this has been referenced with the narration of the marriage of F\u0101\u1e6dimah (May Allah be pleased with her) in Mu\u1e63annaf \u2018Abd al-Razz\u0101q (5: 487). <\/span>Regarding this, you once mentioned that this narration is not authentic. So what is the defect within this narration and can it be used as evidence or not? Mu\u1e25ammad Zayd.<\/p>\n

Answer:<\/span><\/p>\n

Some Muftis have written that it is Sunnah for the family of the bride to do a Dawat and have relied upon the narration of Mu\u1e63annaf \u2018Abd al-Razz\u0101q (5: 487) that outlines in detail the marriage of F\u0101\u1e6dimah (May Allah be pleased with her). However, its narrator is Ya\u1e25y\u0101 Ibn al-\u2018Al\u0101 al-Bajal\u012b who is a repudiated \u1e24ad\u012bth authority as mentioned by D\u0101rqu\u1e6dn\u012b. Im\u0101m A\u1e25mad Ibn \u1e24anbal said: \u201cLiar, he fabricates narrations\u201d.<\/p>\n

There is a similar narration regarding the marriage of F\u0101\u1e6dimah (May Allah be pleased with her) in \u1e62a\u1e25i\u1e25 Ibn \u1e24ibb\u0101n (p. 550) which does not mention the Dawat. Hafi\u1e0d Ibn \u1e24ajar has classified it as Munkar (unacknowledged) in Tahdh\u012bb al-Tahdh\u012bb (11: 304). It is mentioned in \u1e24ashiyah Maw\u0101rid al-\u1e92am-\u0101n that the narration seems to be a forgery.<\/p>\n

My view is that this narration is also fabricated. An edict cannot be established through the narration of a repudiated narrator who is also accused (of fabricating narrations).<\/p>\n

Thereafter, I came across the following narration that provides some support for this. J\u0101bir Ibn \u2018Abdull\u0101h narrates that we attended the wedding of \u2018Al\u012b Ibn Ab\u012b \u1e6c\u0101lib and F\u0101\u1e6dimah the daughter of the messenger of Allah \ufdfa. We have not witnessed a more beautiful marriage. \u00a0The messenger of Allah \ufdfa prepared raisins and dates and we ate, and her bedding on her wedding night was made of sheepskin. \u1e6cabar\u0101n\u012b has narrated this in al-Awsa\u1e6d and its narrators include Muslim Ibn Kh\u0101lid al-Zanj\u012b who is weak, and deemed reliable by some, as mentioned in Majma\u2019 al-Zaw\u0101id (4: 50).<\/p>\n

\n

However, it is difficult to establish (through this narration) that this (Dawat on behalf of the bride) is Sunnah. It seems that this (preparation of raisins and dates) was done as part of hospitality for the present guests (and not as a pre-planned Dawat).<\/span>[1]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Servant Mu\u1e25ammad Y\u016bnus , may he be forgiven<\/p>\n

[1]<\/a> It is also worth noting that this was not a feast as has become customary in many cultures. This can be contrasted to the Sunnah of Wal\u012bmah (the Dawat on behalf of the husband) regarding which the Prophet \ufdfa encouraged feasting with a goat (\u1e62a\u1e25\u012b\u1e25 al-Bukh\u0101r\u012b, 5167). Similar encouragement and virtue does not exist for a Dawat on behalf of the bride\u2019s family.<\/p>\n
