How to Choose the Day to Get Married?

It is permissible for you to choose any date for a nikah this month, but because of the general blessings that are abundant on Friday, one could take advantage and hold one’s nikah on a Friday.

Is it Sunnah to get Married on Friday

Because Ramadan begins in about three weeks, I recommend that you don’t marry in Ramadan, but rather before or after because it might pose some difficulties while fasting. However, it is permissible to marry during Ramadan.
