The Ruling on Preaching at Graves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Preaching at graves is what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did, except for one occasion and for a specific reason. They found that the grave had not yet been finished, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sat down, and his Companions sat around him, and he preached to them until the grave was ready. He did this out of necessity, not as a regular practice. It was not a continuous practice, and his Companions did not do this after him.
Answer:
Therefore, continuing to do this is contrary to the evidence, and there is no evidence for making preaching at graves a regular practice. What is prescribed is that when they bury the deceased, they stand at his grave, ask Allah to grant him steadfastness, seek forgiveness for him, and then leave. Yes.
