What is the ruling on announcing this deceased person to the people in the mosque?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Well, regarding announcing the funeral prayer, meaning if a person stands in the mosque after the prayer or after the obligatory prayer and says, "O people, if you have prayed the obligatory prayer, we will pray over the funeral," is this considered an announcement of death?
The Shaykh : No, it is not an announcement of death. But is there a need for it or not? If there is a need for this notice, there is no harm in it, such as if the funeral is, for example, in a place not visible to those entering the mosque, so he draws their attention to it so that they do not miss the virtue of praying over the funeral. But if the funeral is obvious, meaning placed next to the entrance of the mosque, and everyone who enters the mosque sees it, then there is no need for such a notice.
