Summary
The statement of Jarir bin Abdullah al-Bajali is narrated by Imam Ahmad and Ibn Majah, and is graded authentic by many hadith verifiers including Imam al-Nawawi. Although it is mawquf because it is attributed to a companion, expressions such as 'we used to' are treated as marfu' in ruling, so it may be used as evidence. It means that gathering at the bereaved family's home and preparing food after burial was regarded as a form of wailing. The Sunnah encourages neighbours and close relatives to prepare food for the bereaved family.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
