If it is a habit that is dated to occur twenty, thirty or forty days after the time of death


481

A2: If the invitation is not given on a certain number of days after someone's death: like twenty or forty days, and the intention is to act generously with him or her to relieve their distress, it is not forbidden. But, if it is a habit that is dated to occur twenty, thirty or forty days after the time of death, it is a Bid`ah (innovation in religion). Yet, providing food for the family of the deceased when they are preparing the funeral and are totally occupied with it is a Sunnah (action following the teachings of the Prophet) as the Prophet (peace be upon him) is reported to have said: Prepare food for the family of Ja`far as they are busy with their distress. The Hadith is related by Ahmad, Al-Tirmidhy and Al-Hakim. May Allah grant us success. May peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and Companions!
