Question:
What is the ruling on one who admonishes people in the graveyards after the burial of the deceased?
Answer:
This has no basis. Preaching in the graveyards and delivering sermons in the graveyards have no basis. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did it only once for a reason, which was that the preparation of the grave was not finished. So he sat down, and the people sat around him, and he admonished them. He did it for a reason. As for when there is no reason, the grave is ready and they bury him immediately, there is no need for the admonition. They bury him, and when they are done with burying him, they stand over it and make du'a' for him and seek forgiveness for him, and that is sufficient, and praise be to Allah.
