It is recommended to offer condolences to the family of the deceased, as it brings them comfort. There is no specific wording for condolences; rather, any expressions of solace that do not contain a -prohibited element are permissible. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, limited himself to saying: "Indeed, to Allah belongs what He has taken and to Him belongs what He has given, and everything with Him has an appointed term. So, be patient and seek reward from Allah."
