The Obligation to Provide Dinner for a Group and the Death of One of Them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I had a disagreement with a group of young men, but the matter fell upon me, and I committed to providing dinner for these people. However, one of them passed away, so what should I do?
Answer:
Even if he had not passed away, it is not permissible to compel this dinner. Compelling it is consuming wealth unjustly, and it is a form of gambling, which is consuming wealth unjustly. However, if this is not a matter of compulsion but rather your own choice, there is no harm in it. If you provide them with dinner every night, that is fine.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
