Limiting the condolence period to three days

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Sami asks your eminence: Is limiting condolences to three days valid, or is there no limit?

Answer:
I do not know of any evidence for limiting it to three days, but the jurists say that after three days, people forget their deceased. So, do not remind them of the calamity after they have forgotten it. Yes.
