The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: My father is a disbeliever, and he passed away a few days ago. Is it permissible for me to accept condolences for him?

The Shaykh:
No, do not accept condolences for him. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
Do not open your door to receive people, set up evening gatherings, or hold parties. You do not do this even for a Muslim, so how can you do it for this calamity?

The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says:

The Shaykh:
They say that it is permissible to accept condolences for a disbeliever, but do not say, "May Allah forgive your deceased." Say, "May Allah reward you for your condolence and console you in your loss," and nothing more. But do not open your place for days to receive people or set up tables. Doing all of this is extravagance and a burden on people, and it has no basis. Yes.
