When is the wedding feast held, and is it permissible to perfume oneself with saffron?

The questioner : The saffron that is used, meaning they perfume themselves with it. It is their custom for a person to perfume himself with it, or to put it in his hair, or perhaps to put it in his hands, for example, rubbing it in to remove the yellow stain, and it may be in the cloak. The walimah (wedding feast) is at the time of marriage, after the consummation.

The Shaykh : It is customary, either at the time of consummation, or in the past, the walimah was held when the husband moved his wife from her family’s home, meaning after two or three days. Now, the walimah is held on the night of consummation, and the shortening of the prayer is done on the night of consummation, yes.

The questioner : Yes, after two months, after three months.

The Shaykh : No, no, at the consummation, you have grown up.

The questioner : except.

The Shaykh : If it is like Adam, who did not hold a walimah, then they are seeking the walimah, all of this until now. It seems you want this.

The questioner : Yes, try.

The Shaykh : That is enough, may Allah help you, or the mother, if on condition.
