Consoling the family of the deceased with money

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Is it prescribed to console the family of the bereaved with money?
Answer: Yes, it is prescribed if they are poor and in need. It is prescribed to console them if their provider, the one who used to spend on them, has passed away and there is no one else to take care of their affairs, and they are in need as known by the one who is doing them a favor. There is no harm in it; it is prescribed for them. It is prescribed for their neighbors and relatives to console them, whether at the time of death or after a period of time, depending on the circumstances. However, they should not help them in holding a mourning gathering. But helping them due to their poverty with money, food, or clothing is permissible, provided that it does not amount to assisting in a prohibited act. Yes.
