Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

Valima (Marriage Dinner)

After bridal night, one should hold feast to feed his relations, friends and poor people. [Tirmizi]

It is not necessary to hold valima dinner on a very large scale. To feed even a few people is enough. [Bahisti Zewar]

In valima, one’s object should be to follow the sunnah. A valima to which the poor are not invited and which is done for the sake of pomp and show, has no blessings, on the contrary, it may invite ALLAH’s wrath and displeasure. [Zadul Ma’ad, Bahishti Zewar]
