Question:
There is a video tape in the markets that talks about death, and it shows the method of washing the deceased, as well as a view of the cemetery and the method of burial. Is it permissible to show this tape to men and women?
Answer:
No, this is an exaggeration and an affectation, and it may cause some discomfort for some people. So this is not permissible. People know, and praise be to Allah, Muslims know how to wash the deceased, how to bury him, and how to pray over him without these matters, these images, and these troubles that they have put in now. Yes.
