Is it Permissible to Give Food at Funerals?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
assalamu alaikum, mera sawal ye hai ki, jab koi mar jata hai to unke 3 din & 40 din etc. karte hai. aur daawat & KHAJUR dete hai & masjid me tea & biscuit dete hai. kya ye khana jayaz hai ya nahi?

Answer

(Fatwa: 853/853=M/1430)

Teja, chaleeswan etc are innovations and they are not proved from the Quran and Sunnah. The scholars of Fiqh have stated that arranging feast on death is bid?ah (innovation) and makrooh, fixing day and date has also no root:

ويكره اتخاذ الضيافة من الطعام من أهل الميت لأنه شرع في السرور لا في الشرور وهي بدعة مستقبحة. وفي البزازية ويكره اتخاذ الطعام في اليوم الأول والثالث وبعد الأسبوع ونقل الطعام إلى القبر في المواسم واتخاذ الدعوة لقراءة القرآن وجمع الصلحاء والقراء للختم أو لقراءة سورة الأنعام أو الإخلاص

Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) knows Best
