Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. There is a practice among us, which is holding a feast on the occasion of a woman coming out of her period of mourning, and it is called al-fikak. Is this permissible?
Answer:
Yes. Making it a custom is not permissible, because it becomes a religious innovation (bid'ah), and people think it is attached to the waiting period. But if it is done occasionally, and one does not commit to it, and it does not become a custom, there is no harm. Yes.
