Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a questioner from Libya who asks: What is the ruling on one who holds a walimah (wedding feast) in a Qur'an memorization circle after a student has finished memorizing the Book of Allah, inviting some people and students and providing them with a feast, given that some people have said this is a bid'ah (religious innovation)?
Answer:
No, absolutely not, it is not a bid'ah (religious innovation), there is no harm in it. This is part of rejoicing, displaying joy over good, and encouraging the memorization of the Qur'an. 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) held a walimah (wedding feast) when he finished memorizing Surat al-Baqarah; he held a walimah (wedding feast), so there is no harm in it. This is part of displaying joy and happiness, and encouraging the huffaz (memorizers), and there is no harm in it, if Allah wills. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
