Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, when making supplication for the deceased at his grave, should the one making supplication face the qiblah or face the deceased?

Answer:
When saying the salam, when he says the salam, he faces the deceased, but when making supplication, he faces the qiblah, because supplication is directed toward the qiblah, yes.
