The Intention Behind Enumerating the Deceased's Good Qualities

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is meant by enumerating the deceased's good qualities? We often hear that when someone dies, people say, "He was a memorizer of the Qur'an," or "He was diligent in prayer." Does this fall under enumerating the deceased's good qualities, making it prohibited?

Answer:
Yes, this is not something that should be done. I say this is not something that should be done. Enumerating the deceased's good qualities is like wailing; it is like wailing. Also, you do not testify to the deceased's good deeds, virtues, or any quality except with evidence. As for hoping for his good and fearing for him evil, there is nothing wrong with that. But as for you certifying his righteousness and saying, "He was this, and he was that, and he was this, and he was that," this is not something that should be done. Yes, it is sufficient that you pray for him for mercy and forgiveness, and that is enough. Yes.
