Facing the grave or the qiblah when visiting a grave and making du'a'
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man goes to visit his uncle's grave and makes du'a' for him, with the grave in front of him and the qiblah also in front of him. Is this correct, or should he place the grave behind him?
Answer:
This is correct. Greet him by facing him, instead of greeting him while facing away. Greet them, greet them, facing them, as there is prayer involved. As for when making du'a', if it happens that he faces the qiblah and faces the deceased at the same time, that is good. But if the grave is in a direction opposite to the qiblah, then you face the qiblah when making du'a'. When making du'a', you face the qiblah, and when greeting, you face the deceased. Yes.
