Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: What is the ruling on sitting in the house to receive condolences for a period of three days?
Answer:
This is not recommended. It is not recommended to make arrangements for condolences, announce them, or hold feasts. In some countries, tents and canopies are set up. All of this is a deviation from the Sunnah regarding condolences. Condolences consist of supplication: you make du'a for the deceased and for the living one who has been afflicted, without arrangements, without a set time, and without… Yes.
