Saudi Arabia historic announcement, revealing that marriage contracts at Islam’s holiest sites

In a groundbreaking development, the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah in Saudi Arabia has made a historic announcement, revealing that nikkah or marriage contracts can now be solemnized at Islam’s holiest sites – the Grand Mosque in Makkah and the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah. This initiative, part of the Saudi government’s broader effort to enhance the pilgrimage experiences for visitors to the Two Holy Mosques, opens new avenues for companies to introduce innovative ideas in organizing such sacred events.
Citing the Saudi newspaper Al Watan, Gulf News reports that this move aligns with the government’s commitment to enrich the spiritual encounters of pilgrims and visitors in these sacred locations. Industry observers anticipate a surge in creative approaches to orchestrate weddings and marital ceremonies at these revered sites.
Musaed Al-Jabri, a Saudi mazoun or marriage official, explained that conducting marriage contracts at the Prophet’s Mosque is in accordance with Islamic principles, highlighting that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) himself conducted a companion’s nuptial rites at this mosque. This transformative initiative not only aligns with religious traditions but also marks a unique opportunity for couples to embark on their marital journey in the sacred ambiance of these holy landmarks.
