Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: If the deceased is very close to me, is it permissible for me to travel in order to offer condolences for him?
Answer:
If he needs your presence, if he needs you to be there to handle his burial and his affairs, then travel for him. But if he does not need your presence, it is sufficient that you make du'a for him and seek forgiveness for him while you are in your place. Yes.
