Placing the deceased's family's chairs in the mosque to receive condolences

Question:
The questioner says: What is the ruling on placing chairs for the deceased's family inside the mosque so they can receive condolences before the funeral prayer is performed for the deceased?

Answer:
There is no basis for this. First, regarding the matter of condolences, if the condolences have not reached the level of organized arrangements, such as volunteering for three days and preparing a condolence venue at so-and-so's house, this is not permissible. This is not permissible. Preparing food and such things, all of this is not permissible. As for ordinary condolences, when you meet the bereaved, you say, "May Allah reward you for your loss," and you knock on the door and offer your support and sympathy for your deceased in any place. It does not require arrangements, appointments, or abandoning work, and sitting in the house. It does not require any of that. Yes.
