Putting surmah for a deceased person
Question
What does it mean when a dead person tears whilst putting surma in their eyes during the ghusl?
Answer
Don't pay attention to this. Pay attention to how much you cry before Allah Ta`ala.
Regarding the practice of applying surma for the deceased, refer to http://muftionline.co.za/node/15820
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
