Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: We have three practices regarding condolences for a close deceased relative. First, the duration is three days. Second, offering condolences at the cemetery and then going to the house to offer condolences. Third, the family of the deceased stands in a large group at the cemetery, and people come to offer them condolences.
Answer:
Condolences are easy. If you meet the bereaved person at the cemetery, in the mosque, or in the street, say: “May Allah improve your consolation, may Allah compensate you for your loss, and may Allah forgive your deceased.” There is no restriction to specific days, no gathering, no preparing food, or anything else. Yes.
