Ruling on raising the voice when following a funeral, laughing, and preparing food

Question:
The first message in this episode is one that reached the program from Morocco, sent by one of the brothers there. He says: A young man from Morocco is asking. Our brother says: A man passed away, and then the people followed his funeral procession, saying: "There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah," in an audible and raised voice. Then the deceased's family gave charity on his behalf. When the people returned from burying him, they began to eat, drink, and laugh among themselves. What is your opinion, Your Eminence, about such actions? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow his guidance. As for what follows.
Following the funeral procession, raising one's voice in dhikr, or praying for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I do not know of any basis for this in the Shari'ah. Rather, the Sunnah is to lower one's voice in this situation, for a person should examine himself, remember the fate of this deceased, and his own fate as well; for death is a matter of great significance, and remembering it moves the heart to prepare for meeting Allah, fulfilling His rights, and guarding against His disobedience .
So what is recommended for those following the funeral is to reflect on the fate of this deceased and their own fate, to make preparations, and to lower their voices; out of respect for the gravity of the situation, and the intense need to prepare for the Hereafter and to be ready for death before it descends.
As for the relatives of the deceased preparing food, there is a distinction in this: preparing food for the sake of the calamity and gathering people is not prescribed; rather, it is a practice of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance. However, if they prepare it for a guest who has come to them, or for themselves, there is nothing wrong with it. Or if food comes to them from others, it is recommended for their neighbors and relatives to prepare food for them, because something has come to them that occupies them. This is based on what is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he ordered his family to prepare food for the family of Ja'far when he was killed at Mu'tah, when the news of it reached Madinah Ja'far ibn Abi Talib. He ordered his family to prepare food for the family of Ja'far and said: .
So if the deceased's relatives prepare food for the deceased's family, or his neighbors; this is prescribed. And if the deceased's family invite people to eat with them, or serve it to their guests, all of this is permissible.
As for their returning after the burial to laugh and play; this is not appropriate. Rather, it is better for them to reflect on the matter, and for signs of sadness and preparation to be evident on them. For this reason, when Ibrahim, the son of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), died, he said—may the prayers and peace of Allah be upon him: .
And when death approached the son of his daughter—may the prayers and peace of Allah be upon him—he called him... he was present. When he saw the boy's soul quivering as it was leaving; he wept. So some of those present asked him about that, and he said: .
So it is better for the deceased's family not to occupy themselves with laughing and playing, but to appreciate the situation, and for signs of sadness to be evident on them, along with satisfaction with Allah, and saying: [al-Baqarah:156] and patience and seeking reward. As for responding to that with laughing and playing, it is not prescribed, and it is not appropriate. Rather, what is appropriate is displaying sadness, displaying supplication for the deceased, seeking forgiveness for him, and not displaying playing, laughing, and the like of that which indicates indifference. And in following the example of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is good and blessing. He (peace and blessings be upon him) did not display laughing in the face of death, but rather he displayed sadness and weeping and said: May Allah guide them all. Yes.

The presenter: O Allah, amen. May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
