Al-Waqirah is a meal of joy and gratitude that a person prepares upon completing construction and invites people to. There is no from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, regarding it. Scholars have differed on its ruling and the ruling on responding to its invitation.
Al-Waqirah, like other thanksgiving feasts, can be prepared with meat or anything else available, and its time is flexible, though custom dictates holding it after the completion of construction and moving in. The wisdom behind it is to spread joy for the new blessings Allah has bestowed upon its owner.
