Is it permissible for the bride not to pray or perform ghusl for three days after the wedding in order to preserve her adornment?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Intentionally abandoning prayer until its time has expired is a major sin. Indeed, some scholars have gone so far as to say that the one who does so commits an act of disbelief (kufr), based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Between a man and disbelief or polytheism is the abandonment of prayer." Therefore, a Muslim must not abandon prayer under any circumstances. The bride must show gratitude for the blessing of marriage by increasing her obedience to Allah and performing the ritual bath (ghusl) if she experiences janabah (major ritual impurity) or menstruation.
