Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is there another question? Abu Mubarak from al-Kharj asks: What is the ruling on holding mourning gatherings and days of condolence for a period of three days?

Answer:
It is not permissible to gather with the family of the deceased or to prepare food, as well as wailing, as mentioned in the athar (report) from some of the Companions.
Prepare food for the family of Ja'farاصنعوا لآل جعفر طعاما
Sunan Abi Dawud 3132Hasan (Al-Albani)
when Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him) was killed,
Prepare food for the family of Ja'far forاصنعوا لآل جعفر طعاما فإنه
Sunan Abi Dawud 3132Hasan (Al-Albani)
they were given what occupied them.
