The questioner : Noble Shaykh, how do you reconcile the two hadiths: Sunan an-Nasa'i 1936Sahih (Darussalam) and the hadith: How do you reconcile the two hadiths?
The Shaykh : The reconciliation between them is that if it is while the funeral procession is passing by, there is nothing wrong with it, but if it is after that, there is no need for it and no benefit in it, yes.
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : You are a guest, not one of the people of the town.
The questioner : One of the people of the town.
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : One of the people of the town.
Do not verbally abuse the dead, for they have reached the consequences of what they did.
