Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Finally, Honorable Shaykh, this questioner has two parts. He says: Regarding mentioning the virtues of the deceased, whether during the washing or at the burial, is there any evidence for that?
Answer:
The Muslim is praised. The Muslim about whom nothing is known but good is praised for that and supplication is made for him. As for the non-Muslim, or the innovator, or one who has deviations, then one remains silent about him and leaves his matter to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
