Reading the Qur'an and Dhikr When Entering the Cemetery
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person reads the Qur'an before entering the cemetery, does he stop reading the Qur'an and performing dhikr (remembrance of Allah) once he enters, or does he continue?
Answer:
Yes, he does not read the Qur'an except in prayer. He does not read it aloud; in fact, people used to think that they could hear the recitation of the Qur'an in the cemetery. One person would hear it and assume that no one else was hearing it. However, if he reads the Qur'an to himself and does not believe that this is prescribed in the cemetery, he may continue reading to himself, provided no one hears him; the matter is easy in this case. But if he raises his voice, people will not know and will assume that it is prescribed in the cemetery, and they will follow his example.
