The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: When I go to the grave and greet the deceased and intend to make supplication for him, do I raise my hands when making supplication? He says: When I go to the grave and greet the deceased and intend to make supplication for him, do I raise my hands when intending to make supplication?
The Shaykh:
Yes, you read, you read, because this is among the causes of the supplication being answered. Yes.
The questioner:
Then he says, may Allah preserve you: When I make supplication, do I face the qiblah or face the deceased?
The Shaykh:
You come from the direction of the deceased's face, you greet him, then you make supplication for him after greeting him.
