Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Some students of knowledge write articles and biographies, and mention the virtues of their shaykhs who have passed away. Is this among the forbidden eulogizing?

Biographies are fine; biographies are placed for scholars, and everyone should know them and make du'a for them. Placing biographies is fine, and it is not among wailing.
