Family of the deceased standing in a row in the graveyard to receive condolences
Question

                What is the Islamic ruling on the family of the deceased standing in a single row after the burial is completed, in order to receive condolences from people? Also, what is the ruling on the family of the deceased standing in a single row in the place where condolences are offered, whether it is a house or a hall, to receive condolences, then they sit down after the people leave, and stand up again when other people come, and that takes place between Maghrib and ‘Isha’? 

Question 2: 

What is the ruling on a lecturer who frequently uses the phrase “al-Habeeb (the Beloved) (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)”every time he mentions the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)?.
Praise be to Allah.
    Firstly: 

    There is nothing wrong with the family of the deceased 
    receiving condolences in the graveyard, before or after the burial, whether 
    they stand in a single row or separately, because their standing in a single 
    row only serves to make it easy to reach them and offer condolences to them. 
     

    With regard to their sitting in a house to receive 
    condolences, this is not Sunnah, rather condolences should be offered to the 
    bereaved wherever he is, in the graveyard, in the street or in the mosque. 

    Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was 
    asked: What is the ruling on the family of the deceased forming a row at the 
    gate of the graveyard in order to receive the people’s condolences 
    immediately after the burial? 

    He replied: The basic principle is that there is nothing 
    wrong with that, because they are gathering in order to make it easy to 
    reach each one of them and offer condolences. I do not know of anything 
    wrong with that. End quote. 

    And he (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked: After the 
    deceased has been buried and people have offered condolences to his family, 
    they go to the house of the deceased, and that usually happens after 
    Maghrib. Then they drink coffee and offer condolences to the family of the 
    deceased again, and then they depart. What is the ruling on that? 

    He replied: 

    The ruling is that this is an innovation. At the time of the 
    Prophet  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and afterwards the 
    Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them) did not sit in their houses 
    expecting people to come and to offer condolences. In fact this makes the 
    calamity heavier for the bereaved because it is as if he is saying, O 
    people, I am sitting in my house and grieving, come and offer me 
    condolences. 

    The Sunnah is for a person to close his door and then whoever 
    sees him in the marketplace or in the mosque looking sad may comfort him 
    with condolences, and tell him to be patient and seek reward, the matter is 
    up to Allaah, to Allaah belongs what He has taken and what He gives, and 
    everything has an appointed time with Him. End quote. 

    And he (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Hence the seekers 
    of knowledge should explain this to the people and start with themselves, as 
    we have started with ourselves. Our father died and we did not sit to 
    receive condolences, and our mother died and we did not sit to receive 
    condolences. If the people of knowledge did that, it would bring about a 
    great deal of good, and the people would give up these customs. End quote 
    from Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (17/352, 374, 389). 

    And Allaah knows best.
