An Imitation of the Non-Muslims and a Great Waste
of Money....
Sheikh ibn Uthaimeen رحمه الله said:
“With regard to what is called the “honeymoon”, it is even worse and more
reprehensible, because it
is an imitation of the non-Muslims and it is a great waste of money.
It also leads to neglect of many religious matters, especially if this time is
spent in a non-Muslim country, after which they come back with habits and
customs that are harmful to them and to their society. These are matters which
are dangerous to the ummah. But if the man were to travel with his wife to do
‘Umrah or to visit Madinah, there is nothing wrong with that, inshaAllaah.”
{From Fataawa Islâmiyyah, 3/176}
