The Duration of Condolences
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there a specific duration for offering condolences?
Answer:
The jurists say: up to three days; because after three days the bereavement is forgotten, so if you offer condolences, you remind him of it. Therefore, the result is that one offers condolences near the time of the bereavement. If the time has passed, he does not offer condolences; because he reminds him of it.
