Must couples have sex on nikah night? How to pray in the morning if not in pure clothes?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
My question is on marriage, after nikah couples went to room. i heard that groom or bride wash legs like that. i dont know exactly, can u explain me. And i heard that both couples have to do prayer also in the morning, how can they do because they not in pure clothes. it compulsory to do sex on nikah night.

Answer

(Fatwa: 594/590=D)

Washing of legs is wrong as you heard it. In Hadith, it is mentioned that at the wedding night the husband should recite the below dua holding his wife’s forehead hair:

اللھم انی أسئلک من خیرھا و خیر ما جبلتھا علیہ و أعوذبک من شرھا و شر ما جبلتھا علیہ

Then he should offer two rakat salah as token of thanks with husband standing ahead of wife. After salah they should pray for mutual love, blessings of Allah, unity and prosperity.

It is stated in Ghunyatut Talibeen that they should clean themselves from impurity after intercourse. If he wishes to do intercourse again he should at least make wuzu otherwise it is better to bath. However, he has to do bath before Fajr salah so that he can perform it timely. It is a grave sin to miss salah due to laziness.

Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) knows Best
