The ruling on slaughtering and feeding the condolence guests before burying the deceased
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And may Allah bless your knowledge and your actions. In our country, in the villages, there are no restaurants or hotels. So when a person dies among us, the condolence guests come from the villages and other cities, and we slaughter an animal and serve it to them before burying the deceased as a form of hospitality. Is this action permissible?
Answer:
Yes, this is hospitality for them, this is hospitality for them, and its beginning, especially if he comes specifically for the condolence, yes. And condolence does not need to be calculated for the sake of condolence; rather, you offer condolences by phone or by means of communication, and you offer them while you are in your country, and the objective is achieved, praise be to Allah. Yes.
