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:

Dear Brother Asalamu alaikum

Is it Permissible in Islam to eat in  Bride-groom 's house? Plz tell me its very Urgent.

(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:

Eat at groom’s house

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.

It is a part and custom of some pagan cultures which prohibit and discourage the bride’s family from eating or even drinking water at the groom’s house….as long as the food or drink being presented is lawful in its essence, there is absolutely no prohibition in Islam regarding the houses where a believer can eat or drink.

If one is invited to share a meal at the groom’s place, and the food and drink being presented is lawful…..the believers are at absolute liberty to consume that lawful food and drink to their heart’s desire.

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
