The ruling on inviting only relatives to the wedding feast and to a small amount of food?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If one limits the wedding feast to members of the family and to a small amount of food, to the extent of one's ability, has he failed to fulfill the complete wedding feast?

Answer:
This is the minimum. This is the minimum that is a recommended practice (sunnah), but it is the least. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Give a wedding feast, even if it is just a sheep." Did you hear that it is a sheep, or less in the book? The important thing is that he has acted upon the recommended practice, even if it is a little. There is no harm in that. Yes.
