The Ruling on the Slaughter for (the Parents' Supper) and Inviting Relatives to It

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. In her final question, she asks: What is the ruling on what is called the "Parents' Supper," which consists of a slaughter or several slaughters that the children perform on behalf of their parents, whether the parents are alive or dead, and they invite the relatives to it?

Answer:
Charity on behalf of the deceased is prescribed, whether in the form of meat, food, money, or clothing. Charity on behalf of the dead is prescribed and carries great virtue. However, this is not restricted to a specific time that is considered better for giving charity on behalf of the deceased. Rather, it is done according to need; whenever a needy person or needy people are found, one gives charity to them at any time and in any place, and its reward reaches them, by the permission of Allah. Yes.
