It's a form of duco, neef ba loo qalaa, and you basically feed people and get them to pray for the parent. I think it's an old Sufi Somali tradition.

Pray like I want to know if tht is haram or not

Some people say it's bid'ah, some say it isn't. I personally don't know, but I honestly don't see anything wrong with feeding those in need and making duco for someone, especially the diseased. It's the same concept as digging a well or building a mosque or giving charity in the name of the deceased so I really don't think there's anything wrong with it.

Being charitable is an important part of Islam. On the day when we have xuus its because :

Prophet Muhammad SWT said " You should remember the reality that brings an end to all worldy joys and pleasures, namely DEATH".

Once when Prophet was asked as who is the most sagacious and most prudent among people, he PBUH answered, " Those who are most aware of death and prepare themselves for it".

This shows that Islam encourages to constantly remember death. Also since the person has passed away they are unable to continue getting ajir so thats why its important to read quran for them and do digri.
