📜 Akad nikah · #123
Can the akad nikah be held during the day in Ramadan?
Yes; an akad nikah is valid at any time, including during the day in Ramadan. What is forbidden while fasting is marital intimacy during the day, not the akad itself. A couple who marry during the day in Ramadan must restrain themselves until it is time to break the fast. Intimacy during the day in Ramadan breaks the fast and requires a heavy kaffarah. In practical terms, the walimah can be held after iftar, or postponed to Syawal. Also make sure the religious office and the marriage officiant are available, as office hours in Ramadan may differ.
