The Ruling on Supplication at the Grave

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If I visit a grave to make du'a' (supplication) for my deceased father, is it permissible for me to make du'a' for myself as well? And what are the times when burial is prohibited?

Answer:
At the grave, one makes du'a' for the deceased only, and you do not make du'a' for yourself. If you want to make du'a' for yourself, make du'a' to Allah in the mosque or in any place. As for at the graves, you do not make du'a' for yourself or for any other living person, but only for the dead.
