When they finished burying the deceased, a man stood up to supplicate for the deceased, and those present said "Ameen." Is this permissible in the Shari'ah?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I went to the cemetery this afternoon, and there was a funeral for people from one of the neighboring towns. Then, when they finished burying the deceased, a man stood up to supplicate for the deceased, and then those present said "Ameen." Is this permissible in the Shari'ah?

Answer:
This is contrary to the Sunnah. Supplicating for the deceased after his burial is prescribed, but not in a collective voice, or with one person supplicating and the rest saying "Ameen." Rather, each person supplicates for the deceased; he stands and supplicates for the deceased. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When one of the Companions was buried, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So each person supplicates for his brother, seeks forgiveness for him, and asks Allah for steadfastness for him. They do not do it as a group, or attach themselves to one person who supplicates while they say "Ameen." This is contrary to the Sunnah. Yes.
