Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: What is the ruling on men and women sitting in the mosque to receive condolences?

Answer:
This is not permissible. It is not permissible to sit to receive condolences, nor to suspend work for the sake of condolences. All of these matters are invalid and not permissible. Yes. If you meet the bereaved person at the graveyard, on the road, in any place, or in the mosque, you offer your condolences to him without arranging gatherings, food, or the like. Yes.
