Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Does mentioning the virtues of the deceased count as announcing the news of his death?
Answer:
It depends on the intention of the one who is reporting about the deceased. If his intention is to express grief over him, then it is announcing the news of his death. But if his intention is to praise him and explain his status so that people will make du'a for him and seek forgiveness for him, then there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
