Sitting at home to receive condolences

Question:
Your brother, your brother the Shaykh, may Allah keep you safe. What is the ruling on sitting at home to receive those offering condolences?

Answer:
Expanding on this leads to the completion of the development, so one should not exaggerate in this. The bereaved is offered condolences whether you find him in his home, in the mosque, on the road, in his mosque, in his office, or at his place of work. Offering condolences is not restricted to a specific place, nor is a specific place announced for the condolences, such as the appropriate place in the home. All of this is not permissible, and there is a fear that it will develop and expand, and people will quickly descend into building [structures] and innovations.
