The position of the one praying with regard to the deceased when making supplication and saying the salam

Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: Where should the questioner stand, and the deceased, from before facing the qiblah during the supplication or during the funeral prayer for the believers?

Answer:
The scholars mentioned that when saying the salam, one faces the face of the deceased; one faces the face of the deceased and says the salam to him, just as one says the salam to the pilgrims. As for when making supplication, one places the grave between himself and the qiblah and makes supplication for the deceased.
