Is the wedding feast obligatory in the announcement of the marriage?

Question:
, is the command for the wedding feast one of obligation?

Answer:
It is possible. The original ruling for commands is obligation, and the well-known view among scholars is that it is a recommended practice (sunnah). The wedding feast is a recommended practice in the context of announcing the marriage. So, he should ask about its text. Perhaps the correct view is that he (peace and blessings be upon him) held a wedding feast without a sheep. He held a wedding feast when he married Safiyyah without meat. He held a wedding feast with dried dates, dates, milk, and condensed milk.
Q: But I mean, is the wedding feast itself obligatory?
The Shaykh: In the context of announcing the marriage. And it appears, and Allah knows best, that it is obligatory. The apparent meaning of the texts is its obligation; because this is in the context of announcing the marriage. Announcing the marriage through the wedding feast and gathering whatever people are available.
