Madani pearls regarding condolence

 ٭The time of doing Ta’ziyat is till three days from the death and it is Makruh afterwards as the grieve will revive again [for the family members]. However, if the person doing Ta’ziyat and the family members are not present at the same place, or they are present but this person is unaware [of the situation], then there is no harm in doing Ta’ziyat afterwards. (Jauhara-tun-Nayyirah, pp. 141)

 ٭It is Mustahab to do Ta’ziyat with all the relatives of the deceased whether he is a child or an adult, man or a woman. However, only Maharim of a woman should do Ta’ziyat with her. (Bahar-e-Shari’at, vol. 1, pp. 852)

 ٭Say the following while doing Ta’ziyat: May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ bless you              with patience and grant you great reward for this calamity, and may Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ forgive the deceased.

 ٭Remember that it is impermissible and a sin to do Saug [mourning] of the deceased or not wear good clothes etc. on Eid due to Saug after the days of Saug [mourning] have passed. However, it is not a sin if someone does not wear good clothes due to any other [permissible] reason.

٭ It is unanimously agreed that Noha, i.e. to cry loudly after stating the attributes of the deceased exaggeratedly which is called ‘Bayn’, is Haraam. (Bahar-e-Shari’at, vol. 1, pp. 854)

٭ The doctors say that if (the person who is deeply grieved at the death of his loved one) does not cry at all at the death, he gets affected by a serious illness. Shedding tears takes away the heat of the heart.
