What is the ruling on attending a funeral gathering to offer condolences and to reconcile the hearts of relatives who have boycotted one another?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : We have relatives, meaning we have separated from them due to migration. We try to meet and get to know them on occasions like this, and love and maintaining family ties increase. There are two aspects: the moral lesson in the house of condolence, which is the custom of people today in condolences, where one goes to this house and sits with them with the intention of calling them to Islam and reconciling their hearts for the sake of uniting the word. Is it permissible for him, according to the Shari'ah, to go, sit, and gather with them with this intention?
The Shaykh : This intention is good, but when he sits in their funeral gathering in silence
The questioner : No, he speaks
The Shaykh : He speaks
The questioner : Meaning a lesson and an answer, and he speaks, forbids what is wrong, and speaks about the rulings of funerals and the innovations in funerals
The Shaykh : If the word "no" has no place in the grammar, the answer came out as "yes," not "no."
The questioner : While he is speaking
The Shaykh : This intention is good, but when he sits in their funeral gathering in silence
The questioner : No, he speaks
