The Ruling on Torturing the Dead Person through Lamentation After a Will
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A man forbade his family from wailing and warned them against it, then he died and they wailed over him. Will he be tortured in his grave?
The Shaykh:
Allah knows best. Rather, the warning serves as a shield for them. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said that the one who is warned is protected from being tortured in his grave. Perhaps, if he made a will and warned them, they will comply, if Allah wills.
The presenter:
May you be in good health and well-being.
The Shaykh:
So here, we know that the Shari'ah is based on the legal principle, not the other distortion. Yes.
