The answer

Gathering at the deceased's family's home and preparing food after burial is not something that was reported from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and it has been considered a forbidden form of wailing (niyaha). Ibn al-Qayyim and al-Nawawi mentioned the prohibition of gathering for condolences in a specific place. Instead, the deceased's guardians should go about their daily lives, and condolences should be offered by whomever they meet in any location.
