Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it permissible to make du'a' for the deceased after burial by raising one's hands, or is the du'a' collective behind a single supplicant?

Collective, no. As for raising the hands, yes, there is no harm. He raises his hands and makes du'a' for the deceased and seeks forgiveness for him, but collective, no. Yes.
