Ask The Imam Question and Answer

90 My grandfather passed away many years ago, and every year we do his salana hatham (hatham every year). We call the local imam and the male family members sit down and read Quran and then say a due for him along with all the family members who have deceased. Then food is served.

The two questions I would like answering are (1.) Is this dua accepted when food is presented in front of the gathering before the dua is said? (i.e. can we put food down in front of people and say dua), and

(2.) The woman cook all the food all day long , but when it comes to the actual dua, the men only say it, my question regards to this is, can the woman also join the dua in raising their hands providing they are in a separate room and do not mix with the men but can hear the dua being read?
Firstly there is nothing wrong with placing food in front of a gathering before Dua is said, and secondly the women can and indeed should participate, both men and women have to make duas in according to Islam, so women should not be deprived from participating in any dua, as long as they are separate from the ghair mehrams.
