Raising the hands in supplication for the deceased at the grave

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
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.
