✅Answer: Please pay attention to the following narrations:

1 عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ بَكْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ: لَا وَلِيمَةَ إِلَّا فِي خَمْسٍ فِي عُرْسٍ أَوْ خُرْسٍ أَوْ عِذَارٍ أَوْ وِكَارٍ أَوْ رِكَازٍ فَالْعُرْسُ التَّزْوِيجُ وَ الْخُرْسُ النِّفَاسُ بِالْوَلَدِ وَ الْعِذَارُ الْخِتَانُ وَ الْوِكَارُ الرَّجُلُ يَشْتَرِي الدَّارَ وَ الرِّكَازُ الرَّجُلُ يَقْدَمُ مِنْ مَكَّةَ

📚Al-Tahdhib, Vol. 7, p. 409

Imam Kazim (peace be upon him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) said: There is no 'walima' except in five cases: 'urs', or 'khurs', or 'idhar', or 'wikar', or 'rikaz'!

As for 'urs', it is marriage; and 'khurs', it is the birth of a child; and 'idhar', it is circumcision; and 'wikar', it is for a person who buys a house; and 'rikaz', it is for a person who returns from Mecca!

2 عَنِ النَّوْفَلِیِّ عَنِ السَّکُونِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْداللَّه قال قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ الْوَلِیمَةُ فِی أَرْبَعٍ الْعُرْسِ وَ الْخُرْسِ وَ هُوَ الْمَوْلُودُ یُعَقُّ عَنْهُ وَ یُطْعَمُ وَ الْإِعْذَارِ وَ هُوَ خِتَانُ الْغُلَامِ وَ الْإِیَابِ وَ هُوَ الرَّجُلُ یَدْعُو إِخْوَانَهُ إِذَا آبَ مِنْ غَیْبَتِهِ.

- وَ فِی رِوَایَةٍ أُخْرَی أَوْ تَوْکِیرٍ وَ هُوَ بِنَاءُ الدَّارِ أَوْ غَیْرُهُ

📚Al-Kafi, Vol. 6, p. 281

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) said: The 'walima' is in four cases: in marriage, and 'khurs', which is the newborn for whom 'aqiqa' is performed and food is given, and 'idhar', which is the circumcision of a boy, and for return, when a person returns from a journey and invites his brothers!

Kulaini said: In another narration, it is mentioned: or 'tawkir', which is building a house and other things!

3 عَلِیُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِیمَ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِیِّ عَنِ السَّکُونِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْداللَّه قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِیُّ مَنْ بَنَی مَسْکَناً فَلْیَذْبَحْ کَبْشاً سَمِیناً وَ لْیُطْعِمْ لَحْمَهُ الْمَسَاکِینَ ثُمَّ یَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ ادْحَرْ عَنِّی مَرَدَةَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ وَ الشَّیَاطِینِ وَ بَارِکْ لَنَا فِی بُیُوتِنَا إِلَّا أُعْطِیَ مَا سَأَلَ.

📚Al-Kafi, Vol. 6, p. 299

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) said: Whoever builds and constructs a dwelling, he should slaughter a fat ram and feed its meat to the poor, and then say:

اللَّهُمَّ ادْحَرْ عَنِّی مَرَدَةَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ وَ الشَّیَاطِینِ وَ بَارِکْ لَنَا فِی بُیُوتِنَا

Meaning: 'O Allah! Keep the rebellious jinn and humans away from me and grant us blessings in our homes!'

For indeed, what he has asked for will be granted to him!

4 رَوَی حَمَّادُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو وَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ جَمِیعاً عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ أَبِی طَالِبٍ علیه السلام عَنِ النَّبِیِّ صلی الله علیه و آله و سلّم أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَهُ یَا عَلِیُّ أُوصِیکَ بِوَصِیَّةٍ فَاحْفَظْهَا فَلَا تَزَالُ بِخَیْرٍ مَا حَفِظْتَ وَصِیَّتِی... إلي أَنْ قَالَ : یَا عَلِیُّ لَا وَلِیمَةَ إِلَّا فِی خَمْسٍ فِی عُرْسٍ أَوْ خُرْسٍ أَوْ عِذَارٍ أَوْ وِکَارٍ أَوْ رِکَازٍ فَالْعُرْسُ التَّزْوِیجُ وَ الْخُرْسُ النِّفَاسُ بِالْوَلَدِ وَ الْعِذَارُ الْخِتَانُ وَ الْوِکَارُ فِی بِنَاءِ الدَّارِ وَ شِرَائِهَا وَ الرِّکَازُ الرَّجُلُ یَقْدَمُ مِنْ مَکَّةَ.

📚Man La Yahduruhu Al-Faqih, Vol. 4, p. 257

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) narrated from his father, from his grandfather, from Ali ibn Abi Talib (peace be upon him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) said to him: 'O Ali! I command you with a will, so preserve (and act upon) it, for as long as you act upon my will, you will always be in a state of good!' Until he said: 'O Ali! There is no 'walima' except in five cases: in 'urs', or 'khurs', or 'idhar', or 'wikar', or 'rikaz'!

As for 'urs', it is marriage

and 'khurs', it is the birth of a child

and 'idhar', it is circumcision

and 'wikar', it is building a house and buying a house

and 'rikaz', it is for a person who returns from Mecca!
