The questioner:
This questioner says: We hope for a word on the topic of excess in wedding feasts and other occasions, and boasting and bragging about them.

The Shaykh:
The original wedding feast is prescribed and recommended. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the Companion who got married, telling him: And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to prepare whatever food was available in his marriages and serve it to the people. This is a sunnah (recommended practice).
But excess is forbidden. Allah the Exalted said: "Do not be excessive" So if the food prepared for wedding feasts or others is not eaten but is thrown into the garbage and not consumed, then this is forbidden and not permissible. However, if it is eaten and nothing remains, then there is nothing wrong with that, although the recommended practice is not to prepare too much food, lest it remains uneaten. Do not prepare too much. Yes.
