Question:
This questioner says: Is it permissible to inform the mosque congregation that a relative of a neighbor, for example, has passed away, and to tell them about it, especially given the many busy commitments people have?
Answer:
If the intention is to pray over the deceased, informing them so that they attend the funeral prayer is a required matter. This brings benefit and good for everyone, for the deceased and for the living Muslims who attend the prayer over him, make supplication for him, and receive reward, and who follow his funeral procession and receive reward for that. So if the informing is for this purpose, it is required and beloved. Yes.
