Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Regarding the funeral gathering, the people of the village in our country come, and the gathering is held for three days. They assemble throughout these days from after the night prayer until midnight. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
This is a phenomenon that has occurred among people. A funeral gathering does not require making a big deal of it, assembling, suspending work, detaining people, or preparing food. It does not require this. A funeral gathering is words you say to your afflicted brother in any place without an assembly. You call him on the telephone, on the mobile, in the mosque if you see him, in the store. You know him at work and you know him in his social gatherings. Designating specific days. Yes.
The presenter:
Thank you.
