How is supplication made after the burial of the deceased?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: How is it done? He means that in some countries, a group raises their hands, and one of them makes a supplication while the rest say "Ameen."

Answer:
No, this is not prescribed. This practice is not prescribed. Whether the people present make a collective supplication, or one person supplicates and the others say "Ameen," this is not prescribed. This practice is not prescribed. Each person supplicates for himself, each person supplicates for the deceased by himself, without a group or saying "Ameen" to one person's supplication. This was not reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
and say: Seek forgiveness for your brother, and beg steadfastness for himقال اسْتَغْفِرُوا لأَخِيكُمْ وَسَلُوا لَهُ التَّثْبِيتَ
Sunan Abi Dawud 3221Sahih (Al-Albani)
And he did not say, "Be a group in this." Yes.
