If there is a condolence gathering and guests come to us from outside the city, is it permissible for me to honor them and slaughter animals for them?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: If there is a condolence gathering and guests come to us from outside the city and outside the village, is it permissible for me to honor them and slaughter animals for them on the basis that they are guests in my home?

Answer:
First of all, traveling for the purpose of offering condolences has no basis. Today, there is no need to travel; today, take your mobile phone and your telephone and call them as if you were present with them, and there is no need to travel. But if they make the effort and endure the journey and come to you, there is no doubt that you are hosting them. This is hospitality, not a condolence gathering; this is hospitality for the visitors.
