Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible for the family of the deceased to open their door for condolences, provided no prohibited acts occur?
Answer:
There is no evidence that they should sit in the house, nor that they should sit in the house and leave their work. They go to their work and accept condolences anywhere: in the shop, in the store, in the street, or in the mosque. Yes, there is no need to designate a specific place for condolences and announce it. Yes.
