The majority of jurists have deemed it desirable to solemnize marriage in the mosque, explaining this by stating that marriage is an act of worship, and citing the : "Proclaim this marriage and hold it in mosques and beat drums for it." Although this hadith is weak, some scholars justified the desirability by seeking blessings from the mosque. It is held that the Sacred Mosque (Masjid al-) is a blessed place where all acts of obedience are multiplied. Therefore, there is no objection to solemnizing marriage there; in fact, it might even be preferable.
