Q: Is it permissible to offer condolences to Shias on the death of family members?
A: It is permissible to offer condolences to kuffar upon the death of their loved ones. The Shias are in the same bracket as kuffar; hence, offering condolences to them is permissible. However, there is no need to go out of the way to do so. Such condolences should be offered by neighbours or people living in the same locality as the Shiah who suffered these losses.
