Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: If a woman has completed the waiting period after her husband's death, what is the ruling on preparing a feast at that time for the sake of her completion?
Answer:
If it is believed that this is obligatory and that it is attached to the waiting period, then it is not permissible. However, if it is a matter of honoring the woman and expressing joy and happiness at the end of the waiting period, without believing that this is prescribed or recommended, then there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
