Delaying A Waleemah
Question
Till how long can a waleemah be delayed after Khalwat (seclusion)?
Answer
Waleemah should be held within the first three days after seclusion or spending the night together, because after the three days it will be considered as a general invitation for meals, not a Walimah.
