Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is prescribed from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) when burying the deceased? We see some things done at the burial, such as takbir, tahmid, or collective tashahhud.
Answer:
This is among the newly invented innovations (bid'ah). It is not permissible to say takbir, tahmid, or tasbih when burying the deceased. Rather, the deceased is buried and supplication is made for him for forgiveness without raising the voice. When they finish burying him and level the earth over him, they stand at his grave and ask Allah for steadfastness for him and seek forgiveness for him without collective voice and without causing disturbance to those present. Yes.
