The ruling on mentioning the faults of deceased disbelievers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Does mentioning the faults of deceased disbelievers, such as the Jews, the Christians, and others, fall under the prohibition of mentioning the faults of the deceased? For example, saying, "So-and-so is in Hell, and what an evil destination."

Answer:
We do not assert Paradise or Hellfire for anyone except for those whom the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) testified to. As for others, we hope for the well-doer and fear for the wrongdoer, and we do not assert certainty because we do not know how their end was sealed. Yes.
