Gathering reciters, hiring them, and setting up tents are religious innovations

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. He also speaks and asks Shaykh Salih about reciting the Noble Qur'an on the day of the deceased's death, and also continuing to do so for three days, and slaughtering animals during those days as well. He asks your eminence for guidance regarding those religious innovations (bid'ah) in funerals. May Allah reward you with good and do you well.

Answer:
These are religious innovations (bid'ah) for which Allah has not sent down any authority: reciting the Qur'an after the death of the deceased, gathering reciters, hiring reciters, setting up tents, holding celebrations, and preparing food. All of this is among the religious innovations and among the burdens that impose hardship on Muslims and make things difficult for them. Jarir ibn 'Abd Allah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "We used to consider gathering at the house of the deceased and preparing food to be part of wailing." So all these matters are religious innovations for which Allah has not sent down any authority. Yes.
