Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is another questioner, Sa'd Muhammad, who says: If a deceased person bequeaths that he be prayed over as soon as possible, and that his house not be opened for condolences, is it obligatory to execute the bequest?
Answer:
Yes, yes, there is no condolence here; there is no condolence here, and no sitting in the house. This is merely a custom that some people have adopted. However, condolences are given in every place: in the mosque, in the house, at work, or on the street. When you meet the bereaved, you offer your condolences. Yes.

May Allah reward you, may Allah reward you
