Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: If the deceased's family does not prepare food for the attendees, but rather people send it to them, and then they all gather over it, is there any blame in this?
Answer:
Yes, indeed. The gathering of the deceased's family, and what is the reason for the gathering? They sit for three days, and every evening food comes from one side from so-and-so and from so-and-so. This is not permissible.
