Ruling on preparing a wedding feast for one who has lost a relative

Question:
Regarding the innovations in condolence, he says: There is a custom among us where, when someone dies in the village, they collect money and prepare food for those present immediately after the burial?

Answer:
This is a bid'ah (religious innovation); this is a bid'ah (religious innovation) that is not permissible. However, if their neighbors or relatives prepare food for them and send it to them, that is the Sunnah (recommended practice). When Ja'far ibn Abi Talib passed away, and the news of his death reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he had been killed at Mu'tah, he ordered his family to prepare food for his household, for the family of Ja'far, and said: So, it is permissible for their neighbors or relatives to prepare food for them.
As for them preparing food for people at the time of death or after death, this is not permissible, except if they have guests who have come to them, guests who have stayed with them... guests... or if they are hosting them for dinner or breakfast, that is fine.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
