Ref: nik004/08 March 2008 Q: 1. In a Walimah, will it be permissible and within sunnah if the brides father contributes some money and physically assist in the Waleemah preparation? 2. Is it permissible to delay the Walimah after the expiry of three days? A: 1. The Walimah meal is essentially an invitation from the groom. If the bride's father, of his own will, wishes to contribute monetarily or physically it is permissible and there is no bar from doing so. 2. This is permissible, though it is best to have the Walimah soon after consummation of the Nikah.
