The Purpose of the Wedding Feast in Weddings
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, who used the code name "Abu Abdullah" from Riyadh, says: In the wedding feast, I gather the relatives of the groom and my close relatives for one or two sheep as the feast, and I do not invite anyone else, limiting it to that. Is there any blame in that, O honorable Shaykh?
Answer:
There is no blame in that. The purpose is to announce the marriage, and this is an announcement—praise be to Allah—there is nothing wrong with it. If you add more people to this invitation in order to exaggerate the announcement, that is good. However, you should not be extravagant or impose a burden on yourself beyond your capacity. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
