Also, what is the origin of honeymoons, how did they start, and which class of people most commonly go on them. Why do we adopt these cultures from western people. Also is a honeymoon mandatory for you when you get married?
Why are honeymoons popular in the west?

it's not mandatory unless it's really something from within Islam... and I've never heard of it in Islam... and if it doesn't have a basis in Islam then I think clearly it would be imitating kuffar
somalis have something very very similar to it. forgot the name, but i think a friend of the bride goes with the bride and cooks/cleans/helps for them for like a couple of weeks. honeymoons are just more expensive versions of that, so if it's expected by your culture then probably mandatory.
Do Somalis usually go on honeymoons? I know my parents didn't 
It's okay to admit you are broke. No need to bring religion into it. Ive never seen a wealthy Muslim man call a honeymoon bid'ah
if it makes you feel any better...I am currently broke too.

if it makes you feel any better...I am currently broke too.no its not similar cos a honeymoon is flying to another country for a week or 2
why would it be mandatory cuz of culture.... are you just making things up?
well yeah, just a more expensive version of the somali one. for both of them, the newly weds don't do anything.
true
not talking about religion. like there are many non-religious things that the culture requires. stuff like yarad (money you give to the bride's family i think).
oh ok I thought you meant mandatory in the religious sense
How come wearing white wedding dresses isn’t seen as haram by Salafi scholars such as Ibn Uthaymeen?
Let’s not jump to extremes. Is using tech imitating the Kufaar? Paid holidays? The list goes on.
Seriously? It isn’t mandatory. It’s something couples like to do so that they’re not distracted. Also, traveling brings you closer to your spouse as that when you get to know someone on a deeper level. When couples can’t afford to travel, they tend to opt out.
But talking about sucking the joy out of life. Do you have to question everything? It’s like saying why do people go to restaurants for fun ect.
tech is different than culture.
How is white wedding dresses which has more of a symbolism than a holiday? Hey Sh.Uthaymeen was okay with it as Saudis started to it en-masse. What happened to their traditional Arab wedding dresses?
btw...
Here a part of a fatwa on honey moon of Sheikh ibn 'Othaymeen:
if you have a different view, you're free to that but there's no need to go around painting me as an extremist because I have a perfectly legitimate view
look, I don't mean to insult you but I'm a little more interested in Sheikh Uthaymeen's view than the view of strangers on SomaliSpot... and I respect the scholars and I'm not interested in belittling or undermining them
ThAts my point. Why are white dresses allowed according to him if all of the customs of the non Muslims haram? Surely white wedding dresses are more symbolic?
Btw, I don’t expect you to be interested in my views. I’m a laymen and my views with regards to the deen shouldn’t be taken seriously. I’m merely curious and confused.

The West is obsessed with love and I think Christianity is the reason, something about love being the highest commandment and loving your enemy. The West talk about about love more than any other place and honeymoons and public display of love are just a few manifestations of that.
Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan said in al-Mukhallas al-Fiqhi (2/581) have stated that:
“Nowadays, many wealthy young people travel after marriage to foreign, kaafir countries to spend the honeymoon there, as they call it, but in fact it is a “poison moon”, because it is a haraam month which leads to many evils, such as taking off hijab, wearing the clothes of the kuffaar, watching the bad deeds and foolish customs of the kuffaar, and visiting places of leisure, until the woman comes back influenced by these bad ways and looking down on the ways of her Muslim society. This journey is extremely haraam and those who do it must be stopped from doing it. The guardian of the woman should also prevent her from taking this journey. End quote. Yes, if the couple travels someplace for a holiday, and there are no evils in the place they go to, or they take a journey that is approved of in Islam, such as traveling to do ‘umrah, for example, there is nothing wrong with that. “
A fatwa is made for a people, not a whole ummah since they are based in ikhtilaaf. These fatwas are both clearly meant for the Khaleeji Elite... How can someone that has not lived in a land long enough to learn it's customs and nuances derive a fatwa? And lastly, in Islam, as long as there is no haram thing involved in spending time privately with one’s wife after marriage, it will be permissible.
