The Ruling on Attending a Funeral Invitation

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to accept an invitation to a gathering that lasts three days after the funeral prayer?

Answer:
You do not accept the invitation if they hold a mourning gathering for three days and set up tents and such things, because this is a bid'ah (religious innovation) and an abomination, unless you go in order to clarify the matter to them and advise them, and to forbid what is wrong.
