The ruling on condolences in newspapers.

Question:
Is placing an advertisement in the newspapers to offer condolences for a specific person considered part of the forbidden eulogy?

Answer:
Answer: If it contains exaggerations and praise for him, then yes, it is considered so. However, if it is merely a supplication for the deceased, merely a supplication for the deceased, and an announcement of his death so that people may pray for him, then there is no harm. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) announced the death of the Negus when he died, meaning he informed the Companions of his death so that they would pray for him and make supplication for him. Announcing the death of the deceased, whether in newspapers or elsewhere, for the purpose of supplicating for him and seeking forgiveness for him is permissible. However, announcing it out of glorifying the deceased or out of grief and dissatisfaction is not permissible.
