Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If Allah grants benefit, they place the deceased in the grave when he is lowered. So he walked, his face was turned, and he was placed in the lap, and it was said, “This is Hamid.”

The Shaykh:
That on the ground, no stone is placed and no stone is tested; none of this happened. There was no ignorance;

The questioner:
Peace be upon you. A hadith, read it regarding your death, and if it is authentic.

The Shaykh:
There is no harm in it. Some of them weakened it, so there is no harm if you read it. It is not that a group authenticated it and a group weakened it; there is no harm in it. Yes.

The questioner:

The Shaykh:
