The Ruling on Offering Condolences Inside the Cemetery
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner asks: What is the ruling on offering condolences inside the cemetery?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it, provided that this is not made a permanent custom with a specific place set aside and a canopy erected for it. Do you hear? That is not permissible. But if it happens once, or if it is convenient to do so in the cemetery, and you might not meet elsewhere to offer condolences, there is nothing wrong with it.
