Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

after nikhha when u r allowe dot do sex with other person. and if u did not made this within 24 hrs wat is the value of nikhha is it become makkroh aur nikkah is become najeyz? 

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

Answer:

Nikah time sex

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Your Question: after nikhha when u r allowe dot do sex with other person.

At the completion of one’s ‘nikaah’ ceremony, the man and the woman are legally and lawfully united in the sacred bond of marriage in the Sight of Shariah Law and of Allah Subhanah, and everything that is lawful to a husband and a wife in marriage becomes lawful unto them with immediate effect.

Your Question: and if u did notmade this within 24 hrs wat is the value of nikhha is it become makkroh aur nikkah is become najeyz? 

Beloved brother in Islam, although sexual intercourse is absolutely lawful for a husband and a wife who are united in the sacred bond of marriage after their ‘nikaah’, there is absolutely no obligation or condition in Shariah Law that a husband and a wife must have sexual intercourse within 24 hours or any stipulated time whatsoever! One may enjoy conjugal relations with their wife in marriage one minute after their ‘nikaah’ ceremony if they wish to do so, or one may choose to wait for 1,2,5,10, or 50 years……the absence or abstinence of sexual intercourse between a couple in marriage does not effect or violate the validity of their ‘nikaah’ in the least.

The ‘nikaah’ performed between two people in marriage can only be broken through the institution of divorce.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
