Abu Hurayrah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "The worst food is the food of the marriage banquet from which those are left out who would like to come; and to which those are invited who refuse to come. He who rejects an invitation disobeys Allah and His Messenger". [Muslim]

In another narration Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "The worst food is the food of the marriage banquet to which the rich are invited and from which the poor are left out". [Muslim]

Commentary: Our rich class has made Walimah (marriage banquet given by the bridegroom) a highly luxurious affair and a means of displaying wealth and richness. This excessive exaggeration of a simple feast has brought in its wake many religious, moral and social evils. In its present form, it is sheer extravagance and wastage which are satanic acts and those who do it are brothers of Satan.

Its moral disadvantage is that one invites in this function only people of his own status and not the poor, whereas the fact is that it is the latter who deserve to be invited because of their need, and not the former. This Hadith exhorts to participate in the Walimah ceremony but it is the kind of feast which is simple and in accordance with the teachings of Islam.
