Standing for the funeral before it is placed on the ground
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it from the Sunnah that when the funeral is brought and before it is placed on the ground, a person should stand and remain standing until the prayer is performed over it?
Answer:
No, that is when it is placed in the cemetery. If it is carried to the cemetery, the one accompanying it does not sit until it is placed on the ground. As long as it is on the shoulders, he does not sit. This is what the evidence indicates. However, if he sits before the prayer is performed over it in the mosque, there is no harm in that. Yes.
