The answer

What your grandfather enjoined is considered a void will due to the innovations it contained, such as: gathering at the grave and celebrating it, serving food there, reciting the Qur’an on specific occasions, and paying a wage for that. All of this is either from the category of prohibited wailing, or blameworthy boasting, or wasting money in unlawful ways. Therefore, there is no blame on the heirs if they dispose of their money rightfully and prevent what is void.
