A few years ago, I use to see my neighbor who use to invite five Singh’s from the Gurdwara for a meal at her house.
I have never asked but have always thought what is the purpose behind is this?
As no path was recited.
No shabad we’re recited or sung.
Nor was SGGS Ji bought home.

Thank you for asking a question that must be in the minds of many a Sikhs but they don’t think of asking.
There is no such practice referenced in Sri Guru Granth Sahib.
This tradition among Sikhs may appear to have started as a copy of traditions from other faiths. It has nothing to do with Sikhi Philosophy.
Feeding the needy is a definite part of Sikhi Philosophy but these five Sikhs are normally not the needy one’s.
