Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: In our country, when someone dies, the people announce his death in the mosque over the loudspeaker. The people gather to wash him, shroud him, pray over him, and then bury him. Is this considered the forbidden form of eulogizing?
Answer:
No, this has a benefit for the deceased and a benefit for the people; they attend, pray over him, and accompany the funeral procession. This is intended for a correct purpose. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) eulogized the Negus on the day of his death for the sake of praying over him and making supplication for him. So this is not the forbidden form of eulogizing. Yes.
