The Ruling on the Parents' Supper in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, also, among the recurring manifestations in the blessed month of Ramadan is what is called "the parents' dinner." What is your opinion on that?
Answer:
This is a form of charity. Yes. I mean, preparing food for the poor is a recommended charity, and in Ramadan its reward is greater than in other months. It is a form of feeding people. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Bulugh al-Maram 16:95 Sahih Ibn Hibban 6:202 This is feeding people. People do this in Ramadan seeking the reward, and because, because people are fasting in Ramadan, so they need food more than at other times. So this is a good deed. Yes.
