What is the ruling on giving sermons at gravesites when burying the deceased?

The questioner:
The news caller says: Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible to give sermons and reminders in the cemetery while the deceased is being buried?

The Shaykh:
Adhering to this is not permissible, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not adhere to this; rather, he did it only once. When he came and the grave had not yet been finished, he (peace and blessings be upon him) sat down, and his Companions sat around him waiting for the digging of the grave to be finished. So the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) gave them a sermon instead of them remaining silent; the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) gave them a sermon. As for making this a regular practice and taking the cemeteries as a place for preaching and sermons, this is a matter that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do, nor did he make it a regular practice, and the Companions of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do it either. Therefore, one should not expand into these matters.

The questioner:
We ask Allah to reward you. The Honorable Shaykh says: Who said

The Shaykh:
Dealing with graves is very sensitive, because it is a place of trial and a place of evil. So Muslims must be cautious about opening these doors.
