The Shaykh : If one says ... it cannot be interpreted figuratively. But if the deceased is Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, and he is deceased, but Allah took his soul, that is a complete sentence. However, if one says "he died," it gives a misleading impression, and speaking in ambiguous terms is not part of the etiquette of Islam. Here comes his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) This requires figurative interpretation, and there is no need for interpreted speech. This means there is leeway in the matter regarding proper expression.
The questioner : ... .
Do not speak words by which you will have to make excuses to people.
لا تتكلمن بكلام تعتذر به عند الناسThe questioner : ... .
