Question:
Is any gathering with the family of the deceased considered wailing?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with gathering with the family of the deceased, unless the intention is that it is for the sake of the deceased, in which case it is not permissible. However, if you gather with them for food, coffee, or companionship, there is nothing wrong with it. Does that mean you boycott the family of the deceased and stay away from them? No.

May Allah reward you.
