Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a questioner asks: Is it prescribed to offer condolences at the cemetery?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that, but setting up a canopy under which they gather is not permissible. One may offer condolences at the cemetery while passing by, walking, or standing at the grave; there is nothing wrong with that. However, building a tent for the purpose of condolences is not permissible in the cemeteries. The Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) prohibited this and ordered the removal of what had been placed in the Ma'ala cemetery. Yes.
