The questioner : It must be that which stirs up sorrows.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And today is a day of joy. It means they stir up sorrows, meaning this is a day.
The Shaykh : I know, perhaps they are mentioning the virtues of these people by way of boasting, not by way of remembrance. The scholars have explicitly stated in the chapter on funerals that lamentation is forbidden, and they said it is so because it stirs up sorrows. So perhaps these women are mentioning the virtues of their fathers by way of boasting about their fathers.
