The ruling on announcing the funeral prayer for the deceased in newspapers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Allah, in the newspapers. From the Companions or from the senior Tabi'un.

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The presenter:
The Negus.

The Shaykh:
So among the definitions is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw, or what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw, the Companions saw.

The presenter:
After the senior of the sixth.

The Shaykh:
We learn it.

The presenter:
It is written in the newspapers.

The Shaykh:
them.

The presenter:
It is written in the newspapers.

The questioner:
I know, O Shaykh, that the one who prays knows that he did not pray over him in person, so he prays over him as a prayer for the absent.

The Shaykh:
This is far-fetched. He is surrounded by this matter. This resulted from the statement of the one who said the Negus prayed over him. The Prophet did not pray over him. This is far-fetched. He was a king. No one from his community is safe. He was a king, and he was a Muslim. It is impossible. Many of his relatives, his wife, and his retinue will follow him in faith, emulating him.

The presenter:
You see this is specific to the field of shisha.

The Shaykh:
The statement that this is hypocrisy is a strong statement, but if one prays over someone who has a status in Islam, there is no harm, if Allah wills. It is like the Negus.
