Can you cry? I ask  this because some Ahle Hadees people say that you have to show patience.  No crying. They also mention that when someone dies Allah sends angels  to check what are the family members doing. If they are crying and  mourning then Allah asks the angels to whip the person who has passed  away. I find it strange. Is there something like this?<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>It would be extremely strange rather unjust to think that  God would deal the deceased unjustly and make the angels beat him for  the actions committed by the people he left behind. The Qur&#8217;an explains  in so many words that no person shall be held accountable for the  actions of others. <\/p>\n<p>As for the proper behaviour on death in family the Shari&#8217;ah  teaches us not to wail loudly and beat one&#8217;s head and face. The Arabs  would even hire women to do this type of actions. As for crying and  weeping this is natural and Islam does not prohibit it. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2014-12-06<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6244\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the  etiquette when someone passes away in your family?
