Wrong belief about Muharram & Safar

QUESTION:

Is there anything said against performing Nikah in Muharram, with emphasis in the time of safar? Does safar has any implications or impediments on marriage? jazakAllah Khair.

ANSWER:
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

There is absolutely nothing wrong in marrying in the month of Muharram or in Safr or any time of the year. It was a belief of the time of Jaahiliyyah (pre-Islamic era) that the month of Safr was a bad luck month. Rasulullah corrected this wrong belief and said there is (no bad luck) in Safr.

And Allah knows the best
