Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
Walima is the sunnah of Rasulullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم). It should be carried out the sunnah way to gain maximum reward and barakah. The walimas of Rasulullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) were after he had spent time with his wife.

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.
