The questioner:
Is the deceased punished by the weeping of his family over him?
The Shaykh:
This is how it was reported in the hadith.
The presenter:
O Allah, send blessings.
The Shaykh:
ThatSunan Ibn Majah 1593Sahih (Darussalam), and from this, wailing is forbidden due to the warning that has come regarding it, namely His saying: Mishkat al-Masabih 1725. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the wailer, the one who shaves her head, and the one who tears her clothes. The wailer is the one who raises her voice at a calamity, the one who shaves her head is the one who shaves her hair at a calamity out of distress, and the one who tears her clothes is the one who tears her garment at a calamity. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Riyad as-Salihin 1664.
We ask Allah for well-being and safety. Wailing is forbidden and is a major sin among the major sins. Along with the sin that results for the one who wails and for the one who approves of it, the deceased also receives some of its evil, as in the hadith: ifSunan Ibn Majah 1593Sahih (Darussalam) Yes.
