Narrated Abdullah bin' Umar (radi'Allahu'anhuma), Allah's Messenger (sal'Allahu'alayhe wa'salaam) said, "If anyone of you is invited to a Walima (wedding banquet), he must go for it. (Bukhari-Kitabun'Nikah, hadith 5173 pg.76)
Narrated Abu'Hurairah (radi'Allahu'anhu), The worst food is that of a Walima to which only the rich are invited while the poor are not invited. And he who refuses an invitation (to a banquet) disobeys Allah and His Messenger (sal'Allahu'alayhe wa'salaam). (Bukhari-Kitabun'Nikah, hadith 5177 pg.77)
My question in need of dhaleel is regarding the actual time of the walima, if it is scheduled during the time of the salaah and the location of the walima is not at the masjid, is it permissible to pardon the invitation of the walima in order to pray the obligatory salaah in the masjid (for example mugrib and/or 'esha)?
