Question : What do the Jurists say on the following issue: ''There is a custom in our region that if any calamity, such as cholera, smallpox or famine breaks out, that to prevent them, the inhabitants of the area give rice, wheat and money according to their capacity, cook food and give a feast to the Muslim saints and religious persons and then also the inhabitants also eat along with them.
