Preparing food for the family of the deceased in the home of the deceased

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: A disagreement arose among some relatives regarding this issue. A woman passed away a few days ago, and some of the deceased’s relatives prepared a dinner for the family of the deceased and for the group who came to them from outside the town. It was held in the home of the deceased’s family. Is this action permissible?

Answer:
No, it is not to be held in the home of the deceased, because there is confusion in that. However, cooking in a place other than the home of the deceased is fine. Yes, there is no harm. This is a recommended practice (sunnah). You can estimate their need. Yes.
