Question:
Is mentioning the virtues of the deceased in the condolence gathering considered wailing?
Answer:
Yes, indeed. Enumerating his virtues is considered wailing. Instead of mentioning his virtues, you should make du'a for him and give charity on his behalf. You do not declare anyone righteous before Allah; Allah knows best. You make du'a for him, give charity on his behalf, and do good to him. Yes.
