Question:
This person is asking about the ruling on certain phrases, such as "So-and-so, al-Murhum."
Answer:
No, it is not permissible to assert that he is "al-Murhum" (the deceased). Rather, one should say "May Allah have mercy on him" or "May Allah forgive him." One should supplicate for him with mercy and forgiveness, and not say "the one whom Allah has forgiven" or "al-Murhum." Yes.
