Question:
If the deceased was an oppressor and a transgressor, is it permissible to mention his vices?

Answer:
If there is a benefit in mentioning them, such as warning people from following his example, then no, yes, very well, this is the case. But if there is no benefit, then he is not to be mentioned, yes.
