Sitting in the car during the burial of the deceased and reciting the Qur'an

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner says: Some of the brothers follow the funeral processions and wait in the car, reciting the Qur'an until the burial is finished. Is this permissible or not?

Answer:
The one who wants the reward stays at the grave; he does not go away driving in the car. He stays at the grave until the burial is completed, and he stands over it after the burial, making du'a for him and seeking forgiveness for him. This is the Sunnah. If he wants the reward, he does this: he stays with them while they are burying her. When they finish burying her and level the earth over her, he stands over her, makes du'a for her, seeks forgiveness for her, and asks for her steadfastness, then he leaves. Yes.
