The Ruling on Preaching at Graves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on preaching at graves if there is a need?
Answer:
This is a bid'ah (religious innovation). It has no basis, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did it only once, when they found that the preparation of the grave was not complete. So he sat down, and his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) sat around him, and he preached to them. Because the preparation of the grave was not complete, there was a reason for it. But to make this a regular practice, that has no basis.
