Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Where should the questioner and the believer stand at their graves? Should they face the direction of prayer during supplication or during prayer with the believers?

Answer:
The scholars mentioned that when greeting, one should face the face of the deceased, face the face of the deceased, and greet him, just as one greets the pilgrims. As for supplication, one should place the grave between himself and the qiblah and supplicate for the deceased.
