Q 3: What is the ruling on greeting the relatives of the deceased and offering condolences to them in the mosque when it causes crowding and gathering in the mosque?
A 3 : There is nothing wrong with offering condolences to the family of the deceased in the mosque, or in any place where one meets them; because this is a form of consolation. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
