The ruling on delivering sermons at graves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. One of the brothers, may Allah reward him with good, delivers sermons at the grave, and says that al-Bukhari mentioned in his book a chapter titled “It is permissible to deliver sermons at graves.” Is this person’s action correct? Making this a regular habit is not correct, but sometimes, if the burial is not yet finished and people are sitting and waiting…
Answer:
…it is fine for him to deliver a sermon, just as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did. However, making this a custom and turning graves into pulpits for sermons is something the Salaf did not do. The Companions did not do it, and they knew the objectives of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) best. Yes.
