The Ruling on Eulogizing the Dead

The questioner: His second and final question is as follows: I feel comforted when a group eulogizes or sings about a deceased person. Although the religion forbids this and forbids weeping over the dead, I am affected and feel comforted when a group weeps or eulogizes a deceased person. Is there a sin or expiation upon me for this? May Allah keep you on the path of truth?
The answer: This requires detailed explanation: If the eulogy is in the category of mentioning the deceased's virtues in a way that encourages emulation and following his example in good deeds, such as generosity, kindness, jihad in the path of Allah, forbidding what is wrong, and calling to good, then mentioning this in eulogies benefits the Muslims and does not harm them, and every believer finds comfort in it. However, if the eulogies stir up grief with grief, call for wailing, and agitate the conditions of the deceased's relatives until they are occupied with wailing and shouting, then it is not permissible to mention them or recite them in their presence; because this causes problems and leads to forbidden acts, so it should not be done.
As for songs that contain a call to open sinfulness and disobedience, or a call to drinking intoxicants, or to other forms of corruption, or to lusting after women without right, or to love without right, or the like of that, these must be denounced and one must guard against them; because they corrupt morals and corrupt hearts, as Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Singing causes hypocrisy to grow in the heart just as water causes grass to grow." And Allah the Exalted says, and He is the most truthful of speakers: [Luqman:6].
As for singing that contains a call to good and enjoining good, it should be with the melodies of the Arabs, so it should be with the known Arabic poetry and Arabic poems, and there is no harm in it. But not with the melodies of women or those resembling women. No, it should be with Arabic melodies and Arabic poetry, as Hassan used to recite in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in response to the polytheists.
