The Ruling on Eating from the Food of a Funeral Gathering
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner mentions that he sometimes comes and it coincides with the time of the meal, so he asks about the ruling on eating from this food that was prepared for this funeral gathering?
Answer:
If he eats from it while disapproving of them for this, the food itself is permissible, but with disapproval of them. He should not eat and come for the sake of eating, nor should he disapprove of them, except for what is slaughtered from these, if there are sacrifices slaughtered for the shrines or to draw near to the deceased, then these sacrifices are forbidden; because they are sacrifices of shirk (associating partners with Allah). Yes.
