Does the one who washes the deceased discern any signs of good or evil?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no harm in informing about signs of good. As for signs of evil, it is not permissible to mention them concerning a specific person, because that constitutes backbiting and harms the family of the deceased. Rather, it is permissible to mention them in general terms without specifying.
