392 | When saying hatham, it is often said that (mainly at salana hathams) you should put seven different types of cooked dishes. What is the relevance of this, if any? | ||
This has no significance as you can say hatham without the presence of food. However “Taak” meaning singular use of food items or reading is recommended by Sufia e Kiram. A Hadith relates that the food is presented before the deceased and they benefit from it, therefore it is not compulsory but recommended to have food whether 1 dish or 7. | |||
