Q: Is there any prohibition on the burning of incense sticks.
A.
Burning of incense sticks is permissible as long as there is no wrong
belief or superstition attached to it. Some believe that it has the
power to drive away evil forces and bring blessings. To have such
beliefs is not permissible. The main purpose for using these sticks is
to give the area a fragrant and pleasant smell
Allah Ta’aala knows best.
| Q: What is the ruling on embracing/seeing one's deceased spouse?
A:
It will be permissible for the husband to see his late wife, but not
touch her. If the husband dies, the wife can see her late husband and
touch him. (Imdaadul Ahkaam V1 p 724, 730)
There is no merit in embracing the deceased. In fact, embracing may be a means of Takleef (inconvenience) to the deceased.
And Allah Ta'aala knows best.
