Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 705/705/M=1431)

(1) Nikah may be held in Zuhar and valima after Isha salah. It is not necessary for husband and wife to pass some time together before valima. However, doing valima after meeting of the spouses is sunnah and mustahab.

(2) Valima should be held after nikah or rukhsati.
