Exaggeration in Food and Condolences in Mourning

Question:
These are three questions regarding condolences. The first is about the exaggeration in preparing food for three days. The second is about offering condolences at the cemetery and then going to the house to offer condolences again. The third is about the deceased's family describing him at the cemetery as a great number of people and offering condolences. Is all of this appropriate or not?

Answer:
All of this is exaggeration and burdening oneself with what Allah has not authorized. Condolences are originally prescribed, and that is that if you meet the bereaved, whether at the cemetery, in the mosque, on the street, in his shop, or in his office, you offer him condolences by saying, "May Allah improve your consolation, may Allah console you for your loss, and may Allah forgive your deceased." There is no need for preparing food, no need for three days, and no need for anything else, or you can call him on the mobile phone or by telephone to offer condolences. The call serves as a substitute for meeting in person because it is a direct conversation from you to him.
There is no need for these burdensome practices that , and there is no need to repeat the condolences several times. All of this is exaggeration. Yes.
