What are the necessary steps to complete a valid Islamic marriage ceremony held in the home of the new Muslim convert's parents, taking into consideration the observance of Sharia guidelines so that the marriage is valid and not void in the future?

For a wedding ceremony to be conducted in an Islamic manner, it is imperative to avoid religious prohibitions. These include: - What pertains to women, such as: going to a male hairdresser who is a non-mahram, or a woman adorning herself with something forbidden like thinning the eyebrows, or imitating disbelievers in clothing that reveals a woman's charms, or wasting money. - What pertains to men, such as: shaving the beard on the wedding night, and Ishbal (letting one's garment hang below the ankles). - Avoiding the mixing of men and women and what occurs therein of greetings, handshakes, and dancing. - Avoiding photography, whether among men or among women. - Avoiding the consumption of alcohol and pork. - Avoiding the husband entering upon the women to take his wife. - Avoiding women wearing revealing, tight, or short clothing among themselves. - Avoiding extravagance, waste, and displays of luxury and immorality. - Avoiding wearing what is called a "double ring" (wedding band) in imitation of disbelievers.

The extent to which Islamic teachings are followed in the wedding will determine the blessings and harmony in married life. Therefore, the ceremony should be free from religious prohibitions.
