Just a general question. Why do people still do party And dance when they loose their love ones. Curiousity makes me ask. Happy Sunday.

Islamically it's not acceptable and it should be other way round. The Sunnah directs that neighbors and relatives prepare food for the family of the deceased, because grief occupies them

After the pain of losing your loved ones, you then realize that you can't change anything or bring them back to life.. So if they are old, 50 above, you then celebrate them. My opinion.

Party is wrong word for it. It is celebration of life. Yoruba will say "eye ikeyin"

They lack the simple knowledge to know that there's nothing like this in islam. This is not permissible in islam, may Almighty Allah save and guide us right. 🙏

Which people? Not all people do that. I have never witnessed Hausa do that in anywhere in Nigeria. Yoruba do that as a matter of culture. Burial of our aged ones calls for celebration. May my children send me off in a grand style after I have lived to my old age.

Whatever names u called it, our Yoruba tradition to celebrated life after death. It shows the man have good family, some people will be fighting on his properties by now. It is not acceptable in Deen, many people failed to listen to Sunnah coz we're not use to it like yoruba culture and tradition we grew up on. Allahsubuhana waha ta halla will forgive everybody coz one way the other we're all fall into this

It's a culture and to celebrate " a well life spent of demise".

It's a cultural gathering, this is done in my Yoruba culture when our parents or older members of the family transits ...we rejoice that ' oniwaju ko kẹyin ' I'm sorry I can't translate for want of not losing the flavour of that quote .

Culture above Religion ! So ye ọ, awe mi?

I can’t understand this culture o,I dislike it ,I tried all my best to take care of my parents when they are alive ,I’m still grieving till today about their death,their loss is traumatic to me and I can’t celebrate anything,I have nothing against those who chose to celebrate

In modern Yoruba culture, when an elderly person passes away, the funeral is often celebrated almost like a wedding ceremony. In fact, in Yoruba land, one of the occasions where you are most likely to see people eating plenty of meat is at a funeral.

It's in both our culture and traditions. Why do I say that? In our culture, it is part of social behaviour. While in tradition, it is part of our belief system. In tradition, that's how we socialise, and the same applies in our culture.

Because woman are not wired to love man . Have you seen any woman or even animal dancing when they are bereaved of yheir child ? No because the only line a female can love is that they give birth to . Man , loves yourself and explore life on your bill

She is celebrating the life of her father, the man who made so much impact while alive is worth celebrating

Our culture supersedes your foreign religion practice , you celebrate a good aged person if passed on , eni omo sin lobimo, we are yorubas not Arab or Jewish, you should know more if you are not in a religion captivity.

You asked a vital question they lack knowledge, the word DEATH! Is not something you joke about, the person in particular you wont come across him again, also kmow that its just a matter of time those dancing in burial will also join the dead, so what is the happiness.

Please stop this nonsense, we are Yorubas we morn after we rejoice over death.

And when the man died, those children are crying 😭 ooo as if they won't eat for months, now they're happy dancing now.....as a man enjoy your life before going oo.

Celebration of life well spent.

Good question ! When I lost my mum in 2017 @ 70 ( she was looking like 55 yr old ) , I felt totally sad all through the obsequies! No dance , just fruits taking ! O ni agbara o.

It is our culture. But i cant lose love one and dancing or easting money on party When the person is being burry, it over, i wil jsut only pray for his or soul.

He die well o accomplished In life raised good kids some men are opposite o

I don't like it either but people still do it. My Father is alive and am trying my best to take care of him because what ever we do when he's no more don't matter to him again. Let's celebrate our parents when they are alive

It is ignorance, or should I call it foolishness? 🤔 Maybe.

Ẹni kú ni tiẹ tan! After losing my parents, i couldn't dare laugh, talkless of partying & dancing. It all depends on how we see things and what our parents mean to us. It's been years and I'm still pained.🥲

I still feel the pain of losing my mum; it still hurts just like it happened yesterday. It’s been 7 years, yet the pain remains. 🕊️ Iya Wasiu, continue to rest in perfect peace. You were my backbone, and you will forever live in my heart. ❤️🕊️

From a Yoruba woman?

It’s cultural. As it was in the beginning, so it is today and so shall it be as long as people live. Its just like the tradition of keeping concubines. No matter how small a village is, you will find someone’s husband keeping someone’s wife as concubine. Its an agelong tradition

Their's nothing good in this. Why the cry the day he died and then turn to celebrate his death later. Religiously, Islam forbids this in any form. Though some still do it in disobedience to Allaah's commandments.

it's a good thing & blessing to bvry d old ones... she bvried her father & it's a grace that her dad isn't the one that l00se her.

They can't grief forever. They found succor after bereavement.

Excuse to party and flex o

Iku ogogo o kin se oku ofo , so it’s just a celebration of life .,, omo yoruba nie

People still do business out of listing their claimed love ones
