Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is mentioning the virtues of the deceased considered wailing after his death? Does mentioning the virtues of the deceased fall under wailing?

Answer:
No. Mention the virtues of your deceased, and do not speak ill of the deceased or disparage him; rather, mention his virtues, for he has entered into what he did. Mention his virtues and do not mention his sins or faults.
