May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it permissible for us to set up tents to receive the people who come in groups to offer condolences, given that it is obligatory for all the members of the tribe to gather to receive those offering condolences to them?
Answer:
No, do not set up tents. Let them go to the open air and return. If there is open air and no tents, they will return. If the others and the others did this, this custom would be broken.
