What is the ruling on holding a celebration for a colleague because he was discharged from the hospital?

Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: One of our colleagues was discharged from the hospital, and we wanted to collect a small amount of money from each of us to hold a reception in his honor on the occasion of his discharge. One of the colleagues said that this would be an additional innovation (bid'ah) and that it is not prescribed (mashru'), and that there is no gathering in it, and that it might be a followed sunnah because last week someone was discharged from the hospital and they did the same thing with him. Is this statement correct, and what is your guidance?

Answer:
This is among the permissible things and among bringing joy to the patient who was discharged from the hospital, so it is among the permissible things. Is it not an innovation? This is among the permissible matters, so there is nothing wrong with it, if Allah wills. However, I see that if the one who was discharged from the hospital is poor and in need, it is better that these coins with which the celebration will be held are given to him so that he can benefit from them instead of holding the feast or the celebration.
