Ruling on adorning the bridal car with flowers

14-10-2022

Question 171961

is it permissible to adorn the bridal car with flowers on the wedding day? Please note that this has been the practice in our country for a very long time, to the extent that it is regarded as customary among us.

Answer

Praise be to Allah.

There is nothing wrong with adorning the bridal car with flowers on the wedding day, because the basic principle is that things are permissible, and this comes under the heading of things that bring joy to the bride and her husband and their families. But there should be no extravagance involved in that, because Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):

{and eat and drink, but be not excessive. Indeed, He likes not those who commit excess} [al-A‘raaf 7:31].

And Allah knows best.
