The Ruling on Obituaries in Newspapers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: What is the ruling on obituaries in newspapers?
A: It is a matter requiring consideration, as it usually involves excessive effort. It may be permissible if it is truthful and does not involve excessive effort, but leaving it out is better and safer. If one wishes to offer condolences, he should write them a letter, call them on the telephone, or visit them, and this is more complete.
