The Ruling on Giving Sermons at Graves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this person is asking about giving a sermon at graves in our present time.
Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did this once for a reason, which was that they found that the preparation of the grave had not been completed. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sat down, and his Companions sat around him, as if birds were on their heads out of their reverence for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave them a sermon during this time until the preparation of the grave was finished. One does not make this a regular practice, and the Companions did not do this. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) only did it once and for a reason, as we mentioned. Yes.
