Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Bandar from al-Kharj says: What is the guidance of Shaykh Salih for those who exaggerate in condolence gatherings?
Answer:
It is not permissible to hold condolence gatherings; there are no gatherings or assemblies for condolences. Rather, when you see the bereaved, you supplicate for him: “May Allah improve your consolation, may Allah mend your loss, and may Allah forgive your deceased.” You call him on the telephone or mobile phone, or if you meet him, you supplicate for him with this du'a', and that is sufficient. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes. May Allah bless you.
