Question
In many parts of our country, it is seen that at the end of the janaza, a person takes the corpse in front of him and asks, "How was the man?" People present say, "It was good." This is done three times. Is it permissible in the eyes of Shariat? 5782299369
Answer
- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -
If they believe that if everyone calls the person good, then he will become good and go to paradise, no matter how bad he actually is. Then it would not be right to say so in front of the janaza. Because, this idea is wrong. At present in our country it has become a custom and they have the idea that if everyone says good, that person will be good in the court of Allah and will be in Paradise. Their idea has no basis in the Shari'ah. So it would be a bid'at to make such a practice. Which must be abandoned. The reason is that there is no such act from any of the Companions. Second: Even though the person is not good, for the sake of the dead person and for the sake of shame, he has to say goodbye to those present. So what is the benefit of witnessing a forced recovery in this way? According to the hadith, if forty believing Muslims testify that a corpse is good, or if they praise the corpse, Allah forgives the corpse according to their correction '(Mishkat Sharif-145). All good people praise and supplicate from the bottom of their hearts in the pain of his separation and testify that he is good. And as a result of saying good things to good people, even if he has two or four sins, Allah will forgive them. 5693391645
