The Ruling on Giving a Sermon at the Grave
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on giving people a sermon at the grave?
Answer:
What is this? It is not established that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) continued to do it, nor did the Companions do it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) only did it once for a reason, which was that the grave had not yet been finished, so they sat waiting for the preparation of the grave to be completed. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave them a sermon in order to make use of the time. As for making this a recommended practice (sunnah), it is not established that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) persisted in it, nor did the Companions do it. Yes.
