Singing naats before picking up the mayyit from the house for burial
Question
When there is a mayyit, before picking up the body from the house for burial, sometimes people are singing Naats etc.
I want to know if this is allowed provided no music is attached or is it totally prohibited?
Answer
This is a baseless practice. It must be discontinued.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
