(Fatwa: 1185/766/L=9/1434)
If the nikah of daughter may be solemnized in good condition without father’s presence then in this case the father may go in tabligh leaving the nikah. While in Tabligh, one becomes busy in zikr, tilawat, preaching and other good deeds. And these practices are good in contrary to staying at home keeping in view the nikah of the daughter. Nowadays such questions do arise in one’s mind due to negligence from Deen and ignorance from the sacrifices of Sahaba. The gain of reward and yearning for akhirah is better than all things. Various verses of the holy Quran point towards the same.
Allah knows Best!
