Excessive spending on the wedding feast.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : It is also important in celebrations not to squander money on a large wedding feast, which one prepares for about five hundred people but only one hundred attend, for this is undoubtedly a form of extravagance. Allah the Exalted said: [Al-A'raf 7:31], and the jurists (may Allah have mercy on them) say that it is a recommended practice to hold the wedding feast with a sheep or less. Now, as you can see, many sheep are slaughtered, and sometimes even a camel, and many people are invited, but only half, a quarter, or even fewer or more of the invitees attend, so this money is wasted. Yes, if there are people who take what is left over and give it in charity to workers or others who benefit from it, the matter is easier in this case, and perhaps we would not commit a sin if that were the case. But we would lose a lot of money, and perhaps this surplus would not be received and benefited from. Therefore, we must manage this matter wisely, for as they say, economy is half of livelihood. We ask Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) to make us and you among those who advise one another to truth and to patience and to mercy, and to make this year of ours a year of good and blessing for us and for all Muslims. Indeed, He is Generous and Bountiful.
