Did the wives of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, wear special attire for their weddings, and was a specific day designated for his marriage?
There is no evidence to suggest that the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wore special attire for their weddings, or that a specific day was designated for his marriage. Many scholars recommend holding the marriage contract () on Friday evening or its night, seeking blessings from this day and its hour of responsiveness (sa'at al-istijabah), and because a group of the Salaf (early Muslims) found it commendable. However, there is no explicit text that can be used to prove its (prophetic tradition) status. Meanwhile, the Malikis, Shafi'is, and Hanbalis, in one opinion, favored holding the marriage contract in Shawwal, citing the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) action and his marriage to Aisha in Shawwal.
