Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 1744/1744/M=1433) It is bid’ah to celebrate Rasm Chaharum, 15th Day and 40th Day etc and doing fatiha khawani with the specification of day and date near the grave or at home collectively. All these and other customs have no base in Shariah; therefore, one should avoid these practices.
