Writing a eulogy for the deceased

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is writing a poem or verse for the deceased, known as a eulogy, prohibited?

Answer:
No, it is not prohibited. Hassan ibn Thabit eulogized the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and this is found in his diwan (collection of poetry).
