*sniff* yet again my question has been left only half answered *SOB*




So here is the complete answer peoplessssssss, when we learn Islam we want it to be complete so we are not left with any questions right

So announcing the death of a person is called Na3i نعي and it's General ruling in Islaam is that it is allowed and also Mustahabb and we derive these from Hadeeth such as the Hadeeth of the Najaashi, when he passed away Rasululllah announced his death amongst the Companions and asked them to pray on him.
And also the hadeeth of the Black woman who used to clean the Masjid. When she passed away Rasulullah said "Why did you not let me know?"
So from these Ahadeeth it's concluded that it is allowed to announce the Death of a person in order that people will know about his death and thus come and pray for him.

BUT

There is also a type of Na'i which was forbidden and this is the type of Na'i of the people of Jaahiliyyah and that is when they would announce the death of a person with loud wailing and lamenting and crying. There is a hadeeth reported from Hudhaifah ibn al Yaman who said "When I die, do not announce it, for I fear that that will be a death announcement, and I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbidding death announcements"Sheikh Albani classified this Hadeeth as Hasan
The Ulama said that the type of death announcement in this hadeeth is the way the People of Ignorance used to do it.
