Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 988/933=D/1429)

There is no harm in pronouncing a few words of condolence for solace and soothe. There is no objection in remembering any characteristic of the deceased i.e. human sympathy and moral goodness. However, it is not permitted to join the non-Islamic funeral customs and religious rituals non-Muslims.

Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
