Question:
What is the ruling on gathering at the deceased's home to offer condolences for three days?
Answer:
This is not permissible. One of the Companions said:Sunan Ibn Majah 1612Da’if (Darussalam), so this is part of wailing. But if people happen to come to offer their condolences without any prior arrangement, and they gather without having agreed upon it, there is no blame on them. However, organizing this and agreeing upon it is prohibited. Yes.
