Q: Pertaining to occasions of janazah:
1. Is it necessary for the house to feed visitors everyday?
2. Is it necessary for close family members to eat together for these days?

With regards to Eids:
What advice can Mufti Saheb give to the ladies - our eids have become very busy and strenuous between looking after the in-laws and trying to visit their own parents.
Are we making things difficult on ourselves by trying to please everyone?
Often Eid, instead of being an occasion of happiness is only about cleaning up and seeing to everyone else. Alot of women have no time to sit and eat a meal the whole day. Is it perhaps that we are complaining for nothing as many generations before us did much more, albeit with alot of dependence on maids and also grannies and sisters in-laws all chipping in to help with children, cooking etc.
How do we inculcate the spirit of hosting in us without neglecting our compulsory duties?
