Praying for a person recently buried when visiting the cemetery
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Some people go to the cemeteries and ask about those who were buried on the day they arrived at the cemetery, so they pray for the one who was buried on that day. Is this permissible?
The Shaykh:
No, there is no obstacle. The one who prayed over a grave after it was entered, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for him.
Another questioner:
The same cemetery, Shaykh?
The Shaykh:
For the deceased, if he was buried just now. Yes.
Another questioner:
Meaning they pray in the same cemetery.
The Shaykh:
Over the grave itself.
