reception

Wedding reception

Q: I have heard from the muftis that wedding reception (feeding by girls family) is not sunnah. If I get invited to such a gathering (which is free from sin), what should I do? Attend or not? Is it the inviter's right for me to attend?

Walimah and reception

Q:

1. Should a nikaah be performed on a Friday say after Jumma salaat can the walima has be held on the Sunday?

2. Should the groom not have enough finances to host a walimah, can the boy and girl have a joined function where expenses are halved and both parties contribute?

3. Should the groom not have finances can just the walima be held?

4. In today's time there has come about a thing of reception which is held after the nikaah but before the walimah. Is this allowed ? And should this be allowed? Can it be that there is a Friday nikaah and Saturday reception but with no walima?
