Some believers may engage in acts such as moving to a new house, or buying new things such as furniture, clothes, or a car, or attiring themselves in a celebratory manner, or getting married during the months of Muharram and Safar or other sad occasions of the Ahl al-Bayt (pbut), either by choice or due to necessity. What is the ruling on doing such things?
It is not forbidden to engage in the acts mentioned, except those that are considered a violation of the sanctity of the sad events on the tenth of Muharram or Ashura, such as celebrating and getting dressed up for a happy occasion. In fact, a person should not carry out things that they would normally avoid when they are grieving for their loved ones, with the exception of what might commonly be considered as necessary. If it is not considered to be necessary, they should choose a time that is far removed from contradicting the mourning and grief for the Ahl al-Bayt (pbut).
