There is no basis for observing the death anniversary in the Shariah. It was not prevalent in the time of Salaf Salehin i.e. Sahabaye Keram, Tabein and Tabe Tabein. So observing the death anniversary ritual is merely a fabrication and a superstition. So it is not right to feed the poor on the occasion of death anniversary or to organize any other event. Rather, it is against the Shari'ah. It is mentioned that thawab can be reaped at any time of the year through charity, sadaqa and supererogatory worship, etc., according to one's condition, opportunity and ability, without setting a date for the forgiveness of the soul of the deceased. According to the hadith, the dead person is always waiting. Does any of his children or relatives send any reward for him or not? Therefore, whenever there is an opportunity, one should do thawab in Isal through any amal as much as possible. 2413782294
