Qamar dar Aqrab & Friday the 13th; Astrology & Social Media in Marriage - Maulana Syed Rizvi

- The 'phenomenon' of Friday the 13th, and the associated 'bad luck'

- Since wedding season is around the corner, it is a good time to talk about a similar concept: Qamar dar Aqrab

- It is makruh to have a wedding on this day

- However it is not that it will bring bad luck upon the marriage; rather it means that the amount of thawab will not be at full potential. There is a difference between the two concepts

- Similar the concepts of travelling during Ramadhan being makruh, or travelling on Friday before Juma

- Getting married on this day is still ok, simply make niyyat for some sadqa as a precaution

- The ahadith on qamar dar aqrab are not strong, however it is still mentioned as a precaution

- Other days besides Qamar dar Aqrab which are considered by society as 'bad luck', they have weak sources in ahadith

- The troubling observations that people will try to find appropriate days to hold wedding events, but then they hold haram activities during these events anyway

- Touching upon the trend nowadays to post everything on social media; including haram wedding activities, or gatherings without the consent of people in the video
