The ruling on holding condolence gatherings in the mosque or in a place designated for it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
Innocent.
The presenter:
And she should avoid this, because touching men is forbidden.
The questioner:
Condolence gatherings are held in a certain country, in the mosques. We have decided to keep the mosque free from such talk, and more, and from eating food in its courtyard. The believer should hold a place for condolences outside the mosque. What is the ruling of the Shari'ah on this?
The Shaykh:
And you should establish a place for condolences; condolences do not have a specific place. They are held in homes. These are customs that must be abandoned. You go to them and are forbidden from them. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
