The first test of a man's faith and character is his approach to a nikah. Any man who agrees to or pressures the bride's family into hosting an extravagant function spending 3 to 4 lakhs on a hall and another 4 to 6 lakhs feeding 1,000 to 1,500 guests🧵
has already failed the initial step of married life and his role as a qawwam.
He prioritizes cultural expectations and the wishes of his family over the Sunnah.
These lavish functions burden many middleclass and poor families, driving them into debt as they strive to uphold🧵

These extravagant nikahs drain many families of their hardearned savings.
Make nikah simple
Be a man
