Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This is Umm Ibrahim from Al-Ras in Al-Qassim. She says: In the past, during the blessed month of Ramadan, we used to leave our house for a supper called "The Parents' Supper." However, we have recently heard that this is a bid'ah (religious innovation). What is the validity of this claim?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not a bid'ah, my brother. Feeding people in Ramadan is among the best of deeds, and people need food in Ramadan, especially the poor. So continue, may Allah reward you with good, in feeding people in Ramadan and in other times, but in Ramadan it is better. Yes.
The presenter:
Even under the name “the parents’ dinner,” Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
Yes, dedicating the reward to the parents, dedicating the charity, and this is charity. Dedicating charity to the parents is established in the Sunnah, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Doctor
