Summary
Holding the marriage solemnisation ceremony in a mosque or surau is recommended (sunat) in order to gain blessings. The majority of scholars permit it, and Shafi'i scholars consider it recommended and encouraged. Both the groom's and bride's sides taking part must observe proper etiquette and follow the rules while inside the mosque or surau.
