Question:
Is it permissible to offer condolences by raising the hands and reciting Surat al-Fatihah in a group, as is common in our country?
Answer:
Answer: This is a religious innovation (bid'ah), and it is not a form of condolence. This is not a form of condolence; it is a religious innovation. Offering condolences is saying: "May Allah reward you for your loss, may Allah console you in your affliction, and may Allah forgive your deceased." This is the condolence. It is not reported that the Qur'an, or Surat al-Fatihah, or any part of the Qur'an is recited in condolences, nor at funeral gatherings, nor over the grave, nor at the grave. None of this is reported. All of this is from religious innovations.
