What are the rules for Hui people to get married?

The most solemn ceremony in hui wedding is "writing Zabu" (Arabic, meaning commitment and engagement), which is presided over by the imam of the worship temple and attended by the close relatives of both sides. At the ceremony of "writing Izabu", the Imam read the relevant chapters of the Koran, and the bride and groom read "truth" and "testimony" to praise the Lord and saints, indicating that they got married with the permission of Allah.

The imam read "congratulations" and "witness", and then threw the prepared walnuts, red dates, peanuts and candy at the groom to thank God for the good marriage and wish the bride and groom happiness and early birth. Hui people don't look at the auspicious day when they get married. They usually choose "main hemp day" (Friday), but now they choose more festivals or Sundays.

Different from the "wedding" of the Han groom, hui wedding practiced the etiquette of "waiting to be married". The groom can't go to the woman's house to get married in person, so he can only wait at home.

The day after the wedding, the groom accompanied the bride to her parents' home with prepared snacks and other gifts. Since then, the two married female elders, sister-in-law and sisters will also hold separate banquets, which are called "meeting relatives". On the morning of the wedding, the groom will wash the Ussuri and the bride will "open her face".
