Ask The Imam Question and Answer

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.
