The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Eulogies and poetry are common when scholars and others pass away. Is this included in the prohibition against enumerating the deceased’s good qualities?
The Shaykh:
As for eulogies that do not contain exaggeration, do they fall under this? Hassan ibn Thabit eulogized the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
The presenter:
You.
The Shaykh:
Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
