The Ruling on Giving Sermons at Graves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Shaykh, what is the ruling on giving sermons at graves? What is its ruling?
Answer:
No evidence has been established for this, except that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), when he came with a funeral and they found that the grave had not yet been fully prepared, sat down (peace and blessings be upon him) waiting for the grave to be prepared, and his Companions sat around him. So he took the opportunity and gave them a sermon (peace and blessings be upon him). And this was for a reason. So if there is a reason for this, then this is the Sunnah. But to make this a permanent practice, there is no evidence for it. Yes.
