Commentary
On the death of a dear one weeping and crying is a sign that the deceased is loved. Sentiments of love and grief are noble feelings, but crying and wailing, doing meaningless things, and narrating false attributes of the deceased while wailing are not allowed. It is unlawful and prohibited.
