Supplication for the deceased after burial

Question:
Now, regarding the amine for the supplication after...

Answer:
No, the Shaykh did not sit with Ibn Baz. No, no, Shaykh Ibn Baz and others did not permit it. What is prescribed is that after the deceased is buried and the burial is completed, they stand at his grave and seek forgiveness for him. This is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded. He said, "Seek forgiveness for your brother." When they had finished burying one of the Companions, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Seek forgiveness for your brother, and ask Allah to grant him steadfastness, for he is now being questioned." That means the two angels are questioning him. So supplicating for him after his burial is prescribed and there is no harm in it. However, the reminder where they sit or stand, and one person stands to give a sermon or lecture as some of the young people do, that is a religious innovation (bid'ah). Shaykh Ibn Baz does not issue a fatwa for this; he issued a fatwa only for supplicating for the deceased after the burial. He is insistent on this practice, meaning he gives the sermon several times and is insistent on it. Inform the Shaykh, and let the Shaykh send someone to him to bring him to the Shaykh and explain it to him, or send a soldier to him if he refuses. This is a matter that is not permissible.
