Holding wedding parties in hotels and the extravagance involved

Question:
Why are wedding parties not prohibited in hotels, where there is free mixing with men, and the exorbitant rental fees that reach fifty thousand riyals in a single night?

Answer:
This is a matter for scholars to consider regarding what is permissible and what is prohibited. It is obligatory to prevent what involves free mixing and what involves corruption, whether in a hotel or elsewhere. If the setting is one of preservation and the place is sound, with no free mixing in any location, then it is permissible. However, the important thing is to avoid extravagance, because a person may be burdened by it. If there is extravagance, even if it is in his home, not in the mahr, not in the hotel, and not elsewhere, it is the extravagance that should be abandoned so that the door is opened for others in terms of marriage. If one is extravagant, then the next person and the next and the next will be extravagant.
And if the matter is lightened and there is leniency in the affair, and he invites only a few, and they are the non-mahram relatives, to help with the marriage, and he is lenient in this matter, and does not compete and does not be extravagant, then this is closer to safety and closer to his other relative and his other relative and his other relative following his example, so that extravagance decreases and the financial burden is lightened on people. And if he is strict with the feasts, even if it is in a connected house, even if it is in his home or in a hotel, the matter is the prohibited thing.
