Advising relatives on limiting condolences to three days

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If one of the relatives passes away and they set the period of condolences to three days, and I advise them about it and explain it to them, but they do not listen to me, what should I do?

Answer:
Do nothing. You have conveyed the message to them and advised them, and praise be to Allah. Your conscience is clear. What can you do? Strike them? You have no way to do so. You have conveyed to them what you were able to.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
