The ruling on instructing the deceased after burial
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah forgive you. Does the deceased receive instruction after burial, where one says, "O so-and-so, O son of so-and-so"?
Answer:
This is a bid'ah (religious innovation) and is not correct. If he is still alive before death, say "La ilaha illa Allah" (There is no god but Allah) and thank Allah on his behalf. As for after death, there is no specific instruction, neither at the grave nor at the time of death. It is a bid'ah, yes?
