Using the Islamic date
Question
Shoud we consider the crescent date before fixing the wedding date?
Answer
It is preferable that we talk and use the crescent date and make that the standard and use the solar calendar only for convenience.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
