The ruling on holding a wedding feast in a new home

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Very well. The questioner asks: Where is the work of the feast held, and what is the description of the journey in the first mosque? And does it always extend to the daily woodcutter?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with holding a feast on the occasion of a new home, because this is a way of showing joy and happiness and gathering relatives and loved ones. It is permissible if the goal is to show joy and happiness and gather loved ones in this house. This is a means of bringing Muslims closer together, of maintaining ties among Muslims, and of giving thanks for the blessing of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). However, if the intention behind holding the feast, slaughtering animals, and reciting incantations is to seek protection from the jinn, then this is shirk (associating partners with Allah) and is not permissible. Yes.
