What are the best times of day to hold a Nikah ceremony in 2026?
If you’re planning a Nikah in 2026, the sweet spot is usually late afternoon or early evening, right after the Maghrib (sunset) prayer. This timing keeps things in line with tradition and makes it easier for guests to attend. To keep things running smoothly, try to avoid any clashes with the five daily prayer times. Also, think about daylight hours and guest convenience—especially if you’re going for an outdoor vibe or if some guests need to travel.
