Ruling on travelling to offer condolences
Question: 12326
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
That depends on the situation of the family of the deceased. If that will be a burden on them, then it is not permissible. But if they would like it, then there is nothing wrong with that. There are no restrictions on this matter.
