Waleema is a Sunnah

Now that Aliya wants to have a waleema because it is a sunnah, is she going to ensure that she consummates the marriage with Zain, other wise the waleema will not really be a sunnah, but rather just a show.

And eeek...announcing consummation of marriage to the world sounds creepy !

I don't wanna butt in but I just wanted to clarify that If by announcing you think a verbal announcement of consummation is made, then nope, that's not what happens 😆

Um..when a Valima happens its basically understood that the deed may have happened already or some sort of contact b/w the couple. It also means living together and it doesn't necessarily mean serious consummation ( if u know what I mean)..it can also mean any sort of physical intimacy and acknowledgement of the fact that your spouse can have that intimate relation with u. This is how I would sum it up after doing some research...I used to wonder about this after being told by a cousin that it is required. It is just one of the requirements. And Sunnat is different from "Farz" ( obligatory), so many sections believe that even inviting people for dinner without consummating is a good deed as long as you celebrate and the couple acknowledges their relationship. You get credit for that even if you haven't followed the sunnat of consummating..that's what Aaliya is trying to do by supporting the Valima idea , but I wanted ZaYa to do full justice to it 😆 Anyway, this is good for now. We always have their 1st weddding anniversary to look forward too 😆

Lolz ZaYa did have physical contact bhool gaye ??..Dancing then leaning on each other..and all that haha
