Summary
Holding the marriage contract in a mosque is not a requirement, but it is permitted and even recommended if the etiquette and rules of the mosque are observed. Those doing so must follow the administrative regulations of JAIPs, including that only the marriage contract is held without other wedding ceremonies, and wedding equipment is not brought in without special permission. The event must not disturb worshippers or take place during obligatory prayer times. Attire must be modest and no conduct that arouses desire or causes fitnah is allowed.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Nikah tidak disyaratkan di dalam masjid namun boleh dilakukan di dalam masjid bahkan disunatkan jika memenuhi adab-adab dan peraturan masjid.
