If a cow meets the conditions for udhiyah (sacrificial offering)—being two years old and free from defects—it suffices for the udhiyah, the wedding walimah (feast), and for giving to relatives and friends, because the purpose of the walimah is to feed people. Al-Kharashi stated this explicitly, saying: "If one holds their wedding feast with their udhiyah, it suffices." And guests donating gifts, even if they are money, does not cause any harm.
