Zaid Alsalami

Wa alaikum assalam,

No, that is incorrect.

And Allah knows best
What is the religious and ethical viewpoint on attending a wedding held by a Sunni friend during the month of Muharram?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Lovers of Ahlul Bayt (AS) share Ahlul Bayt (AS) the noble feelings of mourning on the tragedies of Karbala and don’t take part in any function of happiness or celebration during the days of Muharram. Let your Sunni or non Muslim friend know why we mourn on these days and I advise you to refrain from attending wedding ceremony during these days. Respecting our beloved Imams of Ahlul Bayt (AS) is much more important than pleasing people.

I don’t say that attending weddings during Muharram is Haraam as it depends on your intention and impact on others as far as there is no disrespect to  our noble values, but i can say that it can be harmful to our spirituality and our noble feelings being persons hoping to be servants of Ahlul Bayt (AS).

Which hand should the wedding ring be worn on?
Sayyed Muhammad Husaini Ragheb

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah
according to narrations we have many advice regarding wearing the rings on the right hand, one of which is the famous hadith in which we read about the Ziarat of arbaeen.
These recommendations are apparently for the recommended stones like Aqeeq and those on which there is a Zikr.
On the other hand we have disrecommendations regarding wearing them on the left hand which you know is usually used for Istinjaa(purifying the body)
So as a conclusion we can say that there is no recommendation or disrecommendation with regards to the marriage rings nowadays unless they have recommended stones on them like Aqeeq of Yemen or they have Zikr on them.
Can men and women in Hijab sit together as a whole family during a wedding celebration and engage in singing songs without using music?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It is not allowed at all. Singing itself is not permissible in any case even if the person is alone, what about with other gender. Family gatherings must be away from any sinful act.

Wassalam.
