Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)
by Sheikh Muhammad Abdul Hai ArifiCONDOLENCE
To visit a bereaved family for condolence during any of the three days after death is mustahabb (commendable).
Consoling and comforting the family members is sunnah. One should pray in the following manner:
“May ALLAH pardon the departed soul and forgive his sins, and bestow His mercy on him, and give to the relatives and dependants comely patience, Aameen.”
For the neighbours and relatives, to send meals for a day or two for the grieved family is also a sunnah. [Bahishti Gauhar]
