Ruling on slaughtering more than one sheep for the wedding feast

Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible to slaughter more than one sheep for the wedding feast? And what is the meaning of the letter "lām" in the hadith: This hadith is agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim. Is it for the sake of increasing or for the sake of decreasing?

Answer:
The hadith contains: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf. It is for the sake of decreasing, meaning: even if the one who gives the feast has only one sheep. This indicates that the best is to slaughter two, three, or four sheep; so that the gathering is larger, so that more people benefit from this marriage and the wedding feast, and so that the announcement is more apparent, so that the announcement is greater and more apparent. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
