Question:
This questioner says: The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) stood for a funeral procession that passed by him. What are the etiquettes of burial? And what is the reason for the Messenger’s (peace and blessings be upon him) standing for this funeral procession?
Answer:
Yes, it is a recommended practice (sunnah) that if a funeral procession passes by a person on its way to the cemetery or to the mosque to be prayed over, he should stand, even if it is the funeral of a disbeliever; if it passes by, he stands for it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once stood for a funeral procession that passed by, and they said, “O Messenger of Allah! He is not a Muslim.” He said, “Is he not a soul?” And he stands for it. Yes.
