It is recommended to offer condolences to everyone afflicted by the loss of the deceased, whether old or young, except for the child who does not comprehend, and the young woman unless she is one of his (the deceased's) Mahrams. Condolences are offered to everyone afflicted by the loss of the deceased, even the child, the friend, and the neighbor. Thus, everyone who is afflicted is offered condolences, and whoever is not afflicted is not offered condolences.
