Setting up a tent for condolences for three days after the father's death
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man, after his father passed away, set up a tent in front of his house, furnished it, and placed chairs and lights in it. He brought in a coffee server and made arrangements with restaurants, all of this for three days. What is the ruling on this action? And is it permissible to go to his tent to offer condolences?
Answer:
This is an innovation (bid'ah), and it is not permissible to go to him. One must advise him. The committee must tear down this tent and punish him and discipline him. This is an action that is not permissible. This falls under the category of eulogizing and wailing. Yes.
