i would like to know what is the maximum time after the nikkah can the walimah be held

Question

i would like to know what is the maximum time after the nikkah can the wallimah be held as i have heard that it is forbidden to kepp it(wallimah) after more then 3 days

Answer

The Sunnat time of Walimah is anytime after the consummation of the
marriage. What is meant by forbidden after 3 days is to have the Walimah
'upto 3 days'.

Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'Food on the first day is
established and is Sunnah on the second day and on the third day, it will be
Riyaa (boasting).' So, to have the Walimah upto 3 days will not be
permissible.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

#17740I have been heard that, some days in hijri calendar are "Nahs". Please let me know what "Nahs". Wahabis are telling that In Islam there is nothing like Nahs. All days are good.
