Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A custom has spread among some people, which is called the “Parents’ Supper,” where they slaughter an animal on a specific night of the month of Ramadan, and then distribute it to the poor. Is this prescribed?
Answer:
Yes, this is feeding people in Ramadan, and feeding people in Ramadan is better than at other times, because it is the time of need and fasting, so there is nothing wrong with it. However, designating a specific night for this has no evidence for it. There is no evidence for designating a specific night of Ramadan, such as the night of Friday. This has no basis. Yes.
