The ruling on one who dies leaving behind some images
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
After the father passed away, some of his personal photographs remained with some family members, along with a television. If these are left, will he have any sin on his account, given that he disliked these things?
As for the deceased, nothing will be attributed to him as long as he disliked it; but it will be attributed to them. Inform them that they must burn them completely; because keeping them renews the memory of the deceased and the grief over him, and what a person should do is forget the calamity.
The questioner: The television remained in the house! The Shaykh: No, I understood it to be a picture of a television.
The questioner: Both.
The Shaykh: Both?The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: No, there is no sin on him regarding the television, as long as he disliked it; but why did he not prevent it during his lifetime?The questioner: He was procrastinating, and he was ill,He said: If Allah wills, when I recover I will remove it.
The Shaykh: When he recovers, he will remove it?The questioner: If Allah wills.
The Shaykh: No, this is procrastination; there is no doubt that he has a sin from it.
