The Sermon in the Cemetery at the Time of Burial
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on giving a sermon in the cemetery when burying the deceased?
Answer:
What is established is that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did this only once for a specific reason. They found that the grave had not been fully prepared, so the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) sat waiting for the preparation of the grave to be completed, and his Companions sat around him. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) then admonished them and reminded them of the state of the deceased and what he will face after death. If such a situation occurs, there is no harm in it. However, without a reason, it is not permissible.
