The Ruling on Naming the Deceased and When Mosques Become a Venue for Questions

The questioner:
It is recommended that the place be a place for gathering donations, a place for listening and seeking knowledge.

The Shaykh:
Yes, it is recommended that mosques not be a venue for questions, boxes, and donations, as they occupy people with these things. Yes.

The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, in her second question she says: There is a woman who washed a deceased woman, and they brought her from Egypt to the Kingdom.

The Shaykh:
A deceased woman; she is deceased.

The questioner:
May Allah reward you. She says: There is a woman who washed a deceased woman, and they brought her.

The Shaykh:
She passed away, whereas she did not pass away herself. , so one says "al-mutawaffa" (the deceased) and not "al-mutawaffi" (the one who caused death). One of the points of interest in this is that they say in some mosques in Sham that they are praying over the soldiers. One person asked, "Who is al-mutawaffi?" The other replied, "Allah, Allah, He is al-mutawaffi," because if he had asked, "Who is al-mutawaffa?" Yes, one would say so-and-so, but he asked, "Who is al-mutawaffi?" So the one answering said, "Allah is al-mutawaffi." Yes.
