Question

Is it compulsory to have sex on wedding night with your wife to make walima halaal the next day?

Answer

Walimah is halaal always. It is never haraam. It is better that there is intimacy before the walimah.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
