Question
A mourner comes to eat on Friday night at his father-in-law's house, and his brother-in-law, whom he meets only rarely, will also be there. Is this considered a 'feast of friends' that is prohibited during mourning?
Answer
This is not considered a 'feast of friends', and it is permissible to invite them together.
