Is announcing the death of a deceased person and the place of prayer over him among the prohibited recommended practices?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I am the imam of a mosque, and a message comes to me stating that so-and-so, son of so-and-so, has died, that he will be prayed over in such-and-such a place, and buried in such-and-such a place. His question is: Am I allowed to inform the mosque congregation about this matter, or is this among the prohibitions? He says: So-and-so has passed away, so pray for him for forgiveness and mercy, and fear Allah. He will be prayed over in such-and-such a place so that they attend the prayer and accompany the deceased.

Answer:
Yes, there is a benefit in this. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) announced the death of the Negus when he died, and he went out with his companions and prayed over him the prayer for the absent. To announce means to inform; it is not the kind of announcement that was the practice of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance. No, to announce means to inform. He informed of his death, went out with his companions, and prayed over him the prayer for the absent. Yes.
