Eating at the home of the deceased for three days

Question:
The questioner says: In our village, people have the custom of going to the home of the deceased and eating dinner with them for three days. The family of the deceased is the one who prepares the food and invites people to it. What is the ruling on this practice?

Answer:
This is not permissible. This goes against the Sunnah. The Sunnah is to prepare food for the family of the deceased to the extent of their need, for the household only, and to serve it to them, because they are occupied with the calamity. As for making the occasion of death a time for serving food, with three days of food and feasts, they are no longer grieving for the deceased; they have turned it into a celebration. This is a festival. This is not permissible. First, it involves expenses. Second, it leads to neglecting duties. Third, it goes against the Sunnah. The Sunnah is to prepare only what the family of the deceased needs. Yes.
