The Permissibility of the Deceased's Family Sitting to Receive Condolences
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is prescribed regarding sitting to receive condolences? Is it prescribed for the deceased's family to sit, even briefly, to receive those who offer condolences, to make things easier for them?
Answer:
Answer: No, it is not prescribed for them to sit. Offering condolences is easier than that. You can offer condolences by telephone or mobile phone, or when you meet them in the mosque, the office, or the street. There is no need for a gathering, because once a gathering begins, it develops, and nothing of this is permitted.
