Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is your view of those who follow graveyards, ask about those who were recently buried, and pray over them?
Answer:
This is an action with no basis. This is an action with no basis. The Muslims have prayed over him, and if you attend the prayer, you pray over him. If you do not attend the prayer, the Muslims' prayer is sufficient. If you want to benefit him, make du'a for him. Make du'a for him without the prayer. Do not repeat the prayer over the dead, except for the one who missed the funeral prayer. He prays over the grave of a specific funeral. As for you asking about any dead person who was buried and then going to pray over him, I do not pray for you. Did the Companions do this? Yes.
