Question
Is it permissible to conceal from a sick person that his father has passed away?
Answer
If the notification will harm his health, it is forbidden to inform him. However, if the notification will not harm his health, it is a great mitzvah to inform him so that he can say Kaddish and pray for the repose of the soul.
