Using the term "perished" for a righteous man after his death

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it correct to say about a righteous man after his death that he has perished, as we passed through in the hadith when 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) perished?

Answer:
"Perished" means died. Death is not perishing. Here, if a man perishes, the Qur'an says, if a man perishes and he has no children, then in
And they request from you, [O Muhammad], a [legal] ruling concerning women. Say, "Allahوَيَسْتَفْتُونَكَ فِي النِّسَاءِ قُلِ اللَّهُ
[An-Nisa 4:127]
they seek your judgment
They request from you a [legal] ruling. Say, "Allah gives you a ruling concerning one having neither descendants nor ascendants [as heirs]." If a man diesيَسْتَفْتُونَكَ قُلِ اللَّهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِي الْكَلَالَةِ إِنِ امْرُؤٌ هَلَكَ
[An-Nisa 4:176]
Yes, it means died. Yes.
