Walima (Arabic: وليمة‎), or the marriage banquet, is one of the two traditional parts of an Islamic wedding. The walima is performed after the nikah, ( Arabic نكاح) or marriage ceremony. The word walima is derived from awlam, meaning to gather or assemble. It designates a feast in Arabic . Walima is used as a symbol to show domestic felicity in the household post-marriage.^[1] .

Debate: The Time of Walima

Scholars have different views on what the correct time of walima is; for example some believe it should take place

• at the time of the wedding contract (nikah)
• after nikah and prior to consummation
• at the time of the wedding procession (Ibn Hajar, Fath al-Bari, 9/287)
• after consummation (but this is not a certainty)
