If there is a deceased person who was greatly corrupt, and we warn his companions who remain, saying, for example, "Beware of the actions of so-and-so"?
If the corruption is apparent and the sins are manifest, there is nothing wrong with it. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a funeral and they spoke ill of the deceased, he said:.
