The ruling on gathering for three days of condolence and preparing food

Question:
The questioner says: After the deceased is buried, people gather in the family's house to receive condolences for three days, they slaughter animals, and they prepare food for three days. We seek your guidance regarding this?

Answer:
Offering condolences is recommended. You should make du'a for the bereaved and for the deceased, saying, "May Allah improve your consolation, may Allah heal your affliction, and may Allah forgive your deceased." If you meet them anywhere—in the street, in the mosque, or in the office—you can call them on the mobile phone or the landline, which is easy, praise be to Allah. Condolences are easy. There is no need for a gathering, no need for three days, and no need to suspend work for three days. What is the reason for this? This is not condolence. These are customs and traditions . Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
