Answer:
Yes, this is reported from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that when he finished burying the deceased, he stood over him (peace and blessings be upon him) and saidSunan Abi Dawud 3221Sahih (Al-Albani) So, supplicating for the deceased after his burial, seeking forgiveness for him and praying for him to be steadfast when questioned by the two angels, this is a prescribed matter. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded it. However, it should not be done collectively; rather, each person should supplicate for himself, and one person should not supplicate while the others say "Ameen." That is a religious innovation (bid'ah). Each person should supplicate for the deceased himself. Yes.
