Question:
What is the ruling on a son traveling to the town where his father or a relative died to accept condolences for him?
Answer:
If his family needs him and his presence, there is nothing wrong with it. However, going specifically for the sake of condolences and receiving them is not recommended. Rather, he should offer his condolences from his own town via phone calls.
