Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: What is the ruling on some people saying about a relative of theirs who died, or someone similar, that he has passed into the mercy of Allah?
Answer:
I mean, from the standpoint of having a good opinion of Allah, there is nothing wrong with that, if Allah wills. You say, “May Allah have mercy on him; he has passed into the mercy of Allah,” and you make du'a' for him, “May Allah forgive him.” This is from the standpoint of supplication and having a good opinion of Allah. Yes.
