The Ruling on Mentioning the Virtues of the Deceased at Burial
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Shaykh, the questioner mentioned the virtues of the deceased when we buried him in the cemetery, and mentioned his good qualities, considering the hadith
Answer:
No, no, mentioning this is a religious innovation (bid'ah), and nothing about the deceased's condition is mentioned at the burial; rather, one prays for him and seeks forgiveness for him, meaning individually; each person prays for him and seeks forgiveness for him alone, and it is not done with a collective voice. Yes.
