Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman asks, saying that she washes the bodies of deceased women, and some of the deceased woman's relatives come and address the body, telling it, "Convey my salam to so-and-so and so-and-so, the deceased in the graves." Is this action permissible?
Answer:
A person you hear, a person you hear and preserve his words, but a person you do not hear, that is idle talk.
