٭Condolence means: Giving the mind-set of observing patience to a grief-stricken person. Condoling is Masnoon [an act of Sunnah]. (Bahar-e-Shari’at, vol. 1, pp. 852)

 ٭Condoling is also permissible even before the burial; but it is better to do so after the burial. This is when the household of the deceased do not start wailing and mourning. Otherwise, do so before the burial for comforting them. (Al-Jauhara-tun-Nayyirah, pp. 141)

 ٭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)

٭ 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. Therefore, never stop one from crying like this (without doing Noha). (Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 2, pp. 501)
