Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is the deceased punished by the enumeration of his virtues when he is the subject of condolences, as many people do today when offering condolences, where they mention the virtues of the deceased to console his family?
Answer:
Exaggerating in mentioning his attributes is not permissible, but mentioning a little is fine. However, much of it is blameworthy and not permissible, because this is part of wailing.
