Dream - Saudi Arabia has allowed the holding of marriage ceremonies in Masjid al-Haram and Masjid al-Nabawi. As is known, both places are holy sites for Muslims located in Makkah and Madinah. The issuance of this permit is an initiative by the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah to enrich the experience of pilgrims and visitors. According to Al Watan newspaper, this initiative was reported and subsequently officially inaugurated by the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah.

"Even Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) once held a wedding ceremony in the mosque. In addition, Al Jabri also stated that conducting marriage ceremonies in the Prophet's Mosque is common for the people of Madinah. This is due to several reasons. Some of them have a tradition of inviting a large number of relatives of the bride and groom. Often, the house of the bride's family cannot accommodate all the guests. So, the wedding ceremony is held in the Prophet's Mosque or Quba Mosque," explained Al Jabri.

Considering that the mosque is a sacred place as well as a public facility for Muslims to worship. The important thing when holding a wedding at Masjidil Haram and Masjid Nabawi is to preserve its sanctity. In addition, it is important to avoid speaking loudly. Also, avoid bringing a lot of coffee, candy, or food as explained by Al Jabri.

"So, Hajj and Umrah pilgrims usually do not miss visiting both places before returning to their homeland. As reported by Gulfnews on Monday (22/01/2024), pilgrims who visited Al Rawda Al Sharifa as the burial place of Prophet Muhammad in Masjid Nabawi reached 5.8 million pilgrims. Not only Masjid Nabawi, but Muslims also visit other Islamic landmarks in the city of Madinah."
