Question
i would like to know what is the maximum time after the nikkah can the wallimah be held as i have heard that it is forbidden to kepp it(wallimah) after more then 3 days
Answer
The Sunnat time of Walimah is anytime after the consummation of the marriage. What is meant by forbidden after 3 days is to have the Walimah 'upto 3 days'.
Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'Food on the first day is established and is Sunnah on the second day and on the third day, it will be Riyaa (boasting).' So, to have the Walimah upto 3 days will not be permissible.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
