Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. This questioner says: In our town, when a person dies, they do not slaughter animals on the day of his death, and those slaughtered animals are given to the condolence guests and to those who attended the funeral after the burial of the deceased. Is it permissible to eat from these slaughtered animals?

Answer:
No, this is a bid'ah (religious innovation) and it is not permissible to eat from it. It is not prescribed; it is a bid'ah and it is not permissible to eat from it. Nor do they slaughter on the fortieth day of his death, calling it the "grave sacrifice." This is not permissible; this is a bid'ah. Yes.
