Deciding whether to share news of a family loss considering health concerns
As-salamu alaykum everyone. During the blessed month of Ramadan, my uncle passed away from health complications, and while the rest of the family knows, we haven't told my father yet. We're holding back because of his current health condition and age-he's dealing with several medical issues. Throughout his life, by Allah's grace, my father has always shown incredible patience and strength when facing loss, but given his fragile state now, we're worried this news might be too much for him to bear safely. I've looked online about whether it's okay to keep a death secret to protect someone's well-being, and most sources say it's not right to hide it. Still, I'm really concerned about the possible effect on my father's health if he hears this. I'd appreciate your thoughts on what the right Islamic approach is in this situation, and any advice on how to handle it with wisdom. Jazakum Allahu khayran.
