The wedding feast for the sake of circumcision

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there a walimah (wedding feast) prepared for the sake of circumcision?

Answer:
For the sake of circumcision, yes. This is a custom among people, and there is nothing wrong with it. If it is done as a custom, there is nothing wrong with it. But if it is done as an act of worship, that is not permissible.
