The ruling on collective supplication at graves and during burial

Question:
A questioner says: In our village, after the deceased is buried, a man stands and makes supplication for the deceased with a loud voice, and those accompanying the funeral say "Ameen." Is this permissible, and is there a report from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding it? Or should each person make supplication individually to himself? Please inform us. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
One person makes supplication individually; there is no need for collective supplication. However, if a person makes supplication and others say "Ameen" without intention—without intending to form a group or gather, but merely because they heard him and said, "O Allah, grant him..." and then said "Ameen"—there is no harm in that. As for an organized, arranged manner where one raises his hands and makes a collective supplication, we do not know any basis for it. Each person should say, "O Allah, forgive him," "O Allah, grant him firmness upon the truth." This is done when someone is placing soil on the grave or after that. Each person says, "O Allah, forgive him," "O Allah, have mercy on him," "O Allah, grant him firmness upon the truth." All of this is good. But as for collective supplication where one raises his hands and others intentionally say "Ameen," no, we do not know any basis for it.
