Raising the hands in supplication at the grave after burial

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. There are people who stand at the grave after the burial to make du'a' (supplication) and raise their hands. Should they be prevented from raising their hands, Honorable Shaykh, in order to block the means to harm? Because there are people who think that the one who raises his hands is supplicating to the occupant of the grave?

Answer:
No, this is a practice established by the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). When he finished burying the grave, he stood over it and said: When the Muslims finish burying a Muslim, they stand over his grave, seek forgiveness for him, and ask Allah to grant him steadfastness. If they raise their hands, there is no harm; there is no problem. This is not supplication to the grave. The supplication is to Allah for this person. Yes.
