Question: Shab e barat
have a queshtion my family celebrates shab e barat I know it's a innovation so for that day I stayed in my room and didn't eat the food I was wondering since it's the next day and the event is over can I eat the food now or not. Because I know the event is over. Also there's probably only going to be this food for the next few days

الجواب حامداومصليا

It will only be a Bid’ah (innovation) if it is made a compulsory act. As making any Nafal as compulsory will be an innovation. Fasting and doing any other deeds on the 15th night of Shaban is a Nafal act. With regards to the food, there is no problem in eating it.
