Is it permissible to deliver a sermon when burying the deceased?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Is it permissible to deliver a sermon when burying the deceased?

Answer:
Is it permissible? To deliver a sermon. This is what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did, except on one occasion when he found that the grave had not been fully prepared. So he sat (peace and blessings be upon him) waiting for the preparation of the grave to be completed, and his Companions sat around him. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon to them, and he delivered a sermon to them in this situation, but he did not repeat this at every burial of a deceased person. So if there is an excuse like this excuse, there is nothing wrong with it, but otherwise, no. Delivering a sermon at the grave is only permissible in this specific situation and what is similar to it. Yes.
