Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Then he said: "The Chapter on the Wedding Feast":
The term walimah is derived from the form fa'ilah, which signifies the passive participle (ma'fulah). Its root is from the verb awlama, meaning to gather, and its original meaning is gathering together for something. However, it was transferred from this general meaning to gathering for food for a wedding. It refers to the food prepared during the days of the wedding, and it may be provided by the groom, or by the bride's guardians, or by all of them together.
