Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: Some people, when they come to offer condolences, say "the rest of your life." Is this phrase correct?
Answer:
I do not know what this phrase, "the rest of your life," means. Therefore, in offering condolences, one should say, "May Allah reward you for your patience, may Allah console you for your loss, and may Allah forgive your deceased." This is the prescribed form of condolence.
