The Shaykh : In any case, we say:
The hadith of Ibn Mas'ud indicates that the walimah on the first day is obligatory, based on his statement:, and this is supported by the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf: .
It also indicates that on the second day it is a sunnah for which a person is rewarded.
And that on the third day it is for show, where a person seeks to boast and for people to say: How generous he is, how bountiful he is.
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1097Da'if (Darussalam) , this is if the hadith is authentic.
And if the hadith is not authentic and we return to the principles, we say:
As for it being obligatory on the first day, this is supported by the hadith of 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf:, and it is also supported by the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): and the walimah is one of the ways of announcing the marriage.
As for the second day: there is benefit for people in it, and an increase in announcing the marriage, so from this perspective it is a recommended sunnah.
As for the third day: the general rule is that it is not needed, but even so, if it is needed and a person does not intend show, it falls under the ruling of the second day, meaning: it is recommended. And what should be done is to qualify the matter based on the condition of the one giving the walimah; if he is wealthy and able, there is no harm in giving a walimah for two or three days, but if he is of modest means, what should be done is that he does not burden himself.
And as for the benefit that is derived: fromSahih Muslim 2986

And that on the third day it is for show, where a person seeks to boast and for people to say: How generous he is, how bountiful he is.
and whoever wants to be heard of, Allah will make him heard of.
