Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I go to the cemetery and then greet the deceased with the prescribed supplication. Then I stand at the grave for which I intend to make supplication, face the qiblah, and supplicate for him with whatever I wish for a short time. Is this the prescribed manner?
Answer:
Yes, if you face the cemetery and greet the deceased in general, then you go to the grave you want, stand over it, and place it between you and the qiblah, and greet him, facing his face, you greet him and supplicate for him, then you leave. Yes. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
