Question:
This questioner, Muhammad from Riyadh, says: Honorable Shaykh, some of the washers of the dead, male or female, after washing these deceased, mention the state of the deceased to people and in their gatherings, and what they were of in terms of good or evil. Is this permissible?
Answer:
This is not permissible, and this is a trust. What is required is to cover the Muslim, whether alive or dead. This is a trust and a secret that they are not permitted to disclose, because this involves harming the deceased. Yes.

May Allah reward you and bless you,
