Sharing a Waleema: Is it Permissible According to Shariah?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I have an important concern in which I need a clarification from you please. I will explain you the scenario first for your understanding. Two Nikaahs. The first one is mine, the Nikkah is completely based on Sunnah which is insha Allah will be very simple and with proper mahar, this nikkah commences on the first day night of the second nikkah which is going to happen on the second day noon. The second day nikkah is for my sister. This nikaah is also with proper mahar and no dowry, but this Nikaah is done based on the traditions that take place in our place with Kuthbas and fatiha by the imaams and they recite Alli kuth bainama in the kuthba which here local scholars confirming this as bida’h. So on this second day my sisters husband is arranging a waleema in which he does not collect single penny from his wife’s family. My question is can I Share my waleema with him? I mean, I need to give waleema right? Can me and my sister’s husband share financially and give waleema to our family and relatives. Is this bida’h? Please I need your valuable input based on Shariah Sheik.

Bismillaah

A: We have not seen a precedent of this type where the waleemah is being shared.

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