The ruling on bringing coffee and food to the people of the house

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy. May Allah reward you. The questioner says: How do you view, O our Shaykh, bringing coffee and food to the people of the house? Is it permissible or not permissible? And may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said
Prepare food for the family of Ja'far, for something has come to them that occupies them.اصنعوا لآل جعفر طعاما فإنه قد جاءهم ما يشغلهم
Musannaf Abd al-Razzaq 7:617
. Bringing them food according to their need is a sunnah (recommended practice). And since people have become accustomed to coffee, there is no harm in bringing them coffee as well, because it is one of their needs. Yes.
