Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to mention the conditions of the deceased by way of admonition and lesson?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible to mention this, because this involves backbiting the dead; it involves backbiting the dead, and it causes fear among the people. So there is no need for these stories and matters that are mentioned about the dead. It was reported in the athar: "Mention the good qualities of your deceased, for they have entered into what they did." So praising Muslim deceased is done for Muslim deceased, but mentioning what involves punishment is not permissible. Yes.
