Question:

Is giving this meal tothe inhabitants of the area legal or not? What is theShariat’s verdict about this meal?May Allah reward you!

Answer
: Allah’s name I begin with the Affectionate andthe Merciful.All praises be to Allah who bestowed this blessingupon a group of the brethren and put an end to destructiondue to a meeting of friends and neighbours. And benediction and salutation on the Intercessor, theRespondent to the call, the Favourer of the party, the Curefor the Calamity, epidemic, famine and hunger and on hisoffspring, companions and the group of the Muslims andthe same upon us. O Affectionate and Merciful! Amen,Amen, Amen, O Lord! Amen!As mentioned in the question, the act of feeding andeating meals is lawful for all who are invited and for theinhabitants.
