Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the 'Aqiqah feast, is inviting the poor to it a condition for its validity, or is it merely the better course?

Answer:
No, it is the better course, the better course. It is not a condition for its validity. The purpose of the feast is to announce the marriage. So if he does it, the announcement is achieved. And inviting the poor to it is better and more virtuous, and there is reward in it. It adds to the announcement by feeding the hungry and feeding the poor. Yes.
