The Ruling on the Fortieth and Annual Commemoration for the Deceased
What is the ruling on the gathering of the deceased's family and offering sweets for his soul on the occasion of the passing of forty days or a year since his death?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is better to leave all these actions; because they have come to include religious violations such as showing off and extravagance, among others. They can donate for the deceased at any time they wish, and there is no need for a specific date for that. And God knows best.
