It is narrated from Maulana Imam Jafar al-Sadiq SA that he decreed that mumineen should perform Waleema. Imam AS stated:
“Waleema is in 4 situations – Urs, Khurs, Eizaar and Wakeerat”
Al-Dai Al-Ajal Syedna Al-Qadi Al-Noman RA further elaborated;
- Urs means a banquet carried out when a man marries,
- Khurs means banquet carried out on occasion of Aqiqa,
- Eizaar means banquet carried out on occasion of Khataanat (circumcision) and
- Wakeerat is banquet carried out when a man returns home from travelling.
