What is the ruling on celebrations held before marriage, known as bachelor/bachelorette parties?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Bachelor/bachelorette parties are forbidden because they involve imitation of disbelievers and transgressors. The prohibition becomes more severe if they include drinking alcohol, gambling, strip clubs, and uncovering 'awrah (private parts). However, merely celebrating the approaching wedding is permissible, provided it is free from forbidden acts and violations of Islamic law.
