Is it permissible to separate the wealthy from the poor and the elders from the young in the food of the wedding feast?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Then in the Shari'ah, because it is permissible to separate the floor from the bedding, is this excluded?

Answer : No, there is a mention in the explanation that Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) did this; he made one day for the wealthy and another day for the poor. But it is possible that this was a specific case, and there may be things we do not know about it. These specific cases have causes that are not known, because these are actions, not statements. And there is no doubt that if the wealthy are separated from the poor, it results in the breaking of the hearts of the poor. What would separate me, for example? Well, what if the elders are separated from the young? Hmm? There is nothing wrong, O people of good, even if it is on the same day, there is nothing wrong.
