Where this lesson comes from

  • Al-Nawawi, Kitab al-Adhkar, chapters on the supplications at a death, a burial and a condolence. Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya, Zad al-Ma'ad, sections on the Prophet's guidance regarding funerals and condolence. Outline of the fiqh of mourning as summarised by mathabah.org, fetched 4 September 2026. Named by work and chapter only. Edition, volume and page unverified, so none is published. The framing that the three day limit governs the formal state of mourning rather than the duration of sorrow is stated in the course as needing a scholar's confirmation and is not asserted as a ruling.
