Do I face the grave with my face when saying the salam, and place the grave between me and the qiblah when making du'a'?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. When I go to visit my deceased relative in the cemetery, I face him with my face and place the qiblah behind me. I greet him and inform him of some good news. Then I go and place the grave in front of me, between me and the qiblah, and raise my hands to make du'a' for him. Question: Is this action correct?

Answer:
This is the sunnah (recommended practice). This is the sunnah. You face him when saying the salam; you greet him facing his face, just as you would a living person. And if you want to make du'a', you face the qiblah. You make du'a' for him, placing the grave between you and the qiblah, and make du'a' for him. Yes.
