The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: It is the custom of the people in our country to bring the funeral to the mosque early, and then one of them stands to address the people and preach to them before the prayer. What is the validity and permissibility of this practice?
The Shaykh:
This practice is not established. Preaching before the funeral prayer and addressing the people is not established. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
Some of them praise the deceased, saying, "This is so-and-so, he did such-and-such, and his character was such-and-such." All of this is not established. This is excessive praise and is not permissible. Yes.
