Types of Slaughtered Animals at Weddings

Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Also, in our wedding customs, the groom's family slaughters a sheep or a goat at the time their son brings his bride to the house, and the groom and bride trample her at the main door of the house. What is your opinion on this practice?

Answer:
Slaughtering an animal on the occasion of a wedding and preparing food is part of the Sunnah. It is from the Sunnah that when the marriage is completed, specifically when the contract is concluded, it is announced through the walimah (wedding feast). Preparing the walimah is a Sunnah, and it involves cooking food and serving it to people on the occasion of the marriage.
If there is a slaughtered animal with it, it is more complete. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to his companions when one of them got married. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Give a walimah, even if it is just a sheep." And it is based on the action of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), for when he got married, he would serve food to his companions and prepare a walimah for them. This is a confirmed Sunnah because it involves announcing the marriage and displaying joy and happiness at the blessing of marriage. As for the statement that they trample her at the door, I did not understand what is meant. This has no basis; it has no basis. The point is that it is slaughtered, cooked, and served to people to eat. Anything beyond that has no basis. Yes.
