Culture vs. Religion: A Case Study on Marriage | Dr. Sheikh Faiyaz Jaffer | Muharram Majlis 2022 | Night 4 | 8.1.2022

The religion of Islam embraces cultural practice and in no way prohibits its expression unless its in conflict with religious law. In this lecture, Dr. Sheikh Faiyaz discusses how culture can be used for positive growth, but can also serve as a barrier in one way or another, particularly when it comes to marriage. The lecture is in three primary dimensions: 1- Defining Culture 2- Where is there Room for Culture in Islamic Law? 3- Cultural Barriers in Contemporary Marriages
