From my understanding, the term valima means a “celebration”, and not merely the commonly used meaning of celebration of marriage. As such, it is common to use the term valima for the celebration held by the person who performs hajj after having performed it.

Bismillahs, ameens, valimas for completion of the haj, these are big deals in my family. Yes, it is easier to send the money for the aqeeqah to Pakistan/India especially since the meat can be distributed to the needy.

Yes it is like sadaqa or fitna which are used in only one context in Urdu.
Even shadi is any happy occasion in Arabic , but in Urdu it is used for marriage ceremony only.

U dont know only because guys dont beat around the bush as girls do about delivery pain :)

Baby boys getting circumcised when they're a few days old is NOT the same thing as women giving birth. don't even compare the two :)

@Mirch

Why not a boy become pakka musalman after that , the ceremony/process is known as musalmani too.

I know Jewish people have a ceremony called "bris"....i just never knew Muslims had one too...these days, i thought its just all done in hospital and done and over with...I still know ppl have Bismillah/ameen/aqiqas etc

Re: Why ?

Re: Why ?

@Mirch

Good old desi dawaats like Bismillah , Ameen , Aqeeqa , Khatna are not in vogue any more in desi community living abroad . These are the same folks who look for lame excuses to throw parties to flaunt their wealth.

the only one out of these we ever had/have is aqeeqa
