Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on traveling for the purpose of praying over the deceased or offering condolences?
Answer:
This has not been reported; it is not reported that the Salaf (the earliest generations) traveled for the sake of condolences. What do you mean by supplication? You can make du'a' (supplication) for him anywhere, praise be to Allah. And nowadays, it is possible to offer condolences while you are in your place by mobile phone or telephone. Yes.
