Question

Different "Rasam o Riwaj" on weddings like "mehndi, band baja, bhangra, music" are sinful activities. If we performing wedding in Muharram and Safar, then the sin of these activities remain same or higher?

Answer

The sin is the same. However, in the four sacred months (Zul Qa`dah, Zul Hijjah, Muharram and Rajab) and in sacred places (Makkah Mukarramah and Madinah Munawwarah) one needs to be even more careful.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
