The information portal "GazetaDemos.com" has published an article claiming that the chief imam of Podujeva, Bekim Jashari, has said that it is haram to attend weddings.
From the fact-checking conducted by hibrid.info, it appears that this claim is incorrect, as Jashari has said the opposite of what is claimed by this portal.
Invited to the show "Era Verë" on T7 television, he stated that marriage in Islam is "halal", meaning permitted, and, according to him, the imams would not have married themselves if weddings were considered "haram".

In posting this article on Facebook, Gazeta Demos has managed to gather a large number of comments and reactions. (see here)
However, this portal derived this claim from the article published in "GazetaExpress.com", in which the author seems to have made a mistake in the sentence "since during this period of the year the organization of weddings is greater, the chief imam indicates that it is haram to go to such parties".

Analyze:
The portal "GazetaDemos.com" has published a statement by the chief imam of Podujeva, Bekim Jashari, who said that in Islam it is permitted to hold weddings.
However, this article has been given a false title that claims that the chief imam said the opposite.
However, in the authentic article by "GazetaExpress.com", the author seems to have made a mistake in one sentence while criticizing Jashari's statement, allegedly saying that it is "haram" to go to such parties.
Based on the working methodology referring to these facts, hibrid.info has assessed this article as "Error".
Reasoning:
The "Error" rating is given to media reports in which the media editorial staff made a mistake by publishing incorrect information or broadcasting unverified news from another source, without the clear intention of misinforming the public.
