Is it permissible to publish what appears on the body of the deceased during the washing, such as a change for the worse or for the better?

The questioner : The workers see it, the one who washes the body, meaning he sees the image change to a better image. Yes. The image changes to a better one than the image as well.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : And the observed thing is one of, with a patient who died, one of, originally from Ibrahim, a student, he had it, and it was washed, meaning I did not like it in the people, or I did not feel that the image, the image of men, I know the image, why, O Shaykh, that he informs, he informs the people of the illness, or from that he is silent about it?

The Shaykh : In any case, there is no doubt that a person may change for the worse or for the better. If he changes for the worse, it is forbidden for the one who saw it to mention that to the people, no matter what, as long as he is a Muslim. As for if he was a disbeliever, such as if he died while not praying, and then he was seen after his death in an ugly state, there is no harm in publishing it because he has no sanctity. As for if he was seen as better, this, if it is in the context of defense, such as if he hears someone, yes.
eating his flesh, he says, "My brother, do not say anything, I saw him after his death better than he was in his life," then there is no harm in that. As for in the way of publishing this, I fear that there may be fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) in that, and these are delicate matters, and Satan runs through the son of Adam like blood, perhaps the situation will develop to the point that his grave is taken as a festival.
