Sunnats and Aadaab of Visiting the Bereaved – Part 4

1.It is permissible to praise the deceased. However, when praising him, one should ensure that one does not exaggerate or praise him for characteristics that were not found in him. Similarly, one should not adopt the styles and ways of the kuffaar in praising him.
2.The period of ta’ziyat is three days. After the third day, it is makrooh to go for ta’ziyat. However, if a person could not present himself for ta’ziyat within the three days, due to being out on a journey, then when he returns from the journey, he may go for ta’ziyat, even though the three days have elapsed.
