Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This writer is only supposed to establish a long sunnah (recommended practice) for the sake of expression alone.
Answer:
No, it is not prescribed that you travel for the purpose of offering condolences, unless the deceased is a close relative to you and they need your presence. If he is a close relative and they need your presence, there is no harm. But for the mere purpose of offering condolences, do not travel for it. You should make du'a' (supplication) for him while you are in your place; you can call them on the mobile phone or the telephone and offer your condolences.
