Question:
He says: What is the correct Shari'ah method when greeting a deceased person who is alone? Does one face the direction of his face, and from which direction does one make du'a' for him?
Answer:
Yes, just as you greet a living person, you face his face and greet him with "As-salamu alayk, O so-and-so, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings." Then you say, "O Allah, forgive him, have mercy on him, grant him well-being, and pardon him." You make du'a' for him while facing his face. Yes.
