Nikkah is wedding in Islam
According to a Muslim scholar, there is no particular venue for a Nikkah to take place.
"Yes, Nikkah is wedding. No particular venue it has to take place, but there are certain controls wherever the venue it take place. The control is simply as follows: No showcasing of the bride where all men present will be seeing her. No free mixing: male participants on one side and the female participants on the other side," he said.
Why Okoya's son faced criticism
Legit.ng previously reported that Shade Okoya's son Raheem sparked a fiery debate on social media after he boldly stated that poverty is largely a product of mindset.
Raheem commented on a livestream with content creator Carter Efe, where he appeared to motivate Nigerians on personal growth and ambition.
He urged young people to rethink their approach to life, emphasising the importance of the right mindset.
“My brother, poverty is a mindset. As long as you are thinking on a higher frequency, you can always achieve. Don’t limit yourself,” Raheem said.
