The answer

If the mourning gathering includes innovations (bid'ah) and superstitions, such as establishing lamentation ceremonies (ma'atim), then participation in it is impermissible. However, if it is merely a consolation for the living, a soothing of their hearts, and a supplication for the deceased, then there is no harm in it, especially if those involved are relatives of the deceased.
