The ruling on going to the cemetery to pray over new graves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Sometimes we go to the cemetery after the 'Asr prayer to pray over the funerals of those we were unable to pray for in the mosque. We find new graves that were buried at midday. Is it prescribed for us to go to them and pray over them so that we may receive reward?
Answer:
That is an unnecessary effort. This is an unnecessary effort. As long as the prayer has been performed and the deceased has been buried, praise be to Allah, the objective has been achieved. You should supplicate for them, supplicate for the deceased. This is sufficient. Yes.
