The Sermon at the Grave During Burial
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is it prescribed to give a sermon at the grave during the burial of the deceased?
Answer:
This is what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did, except for one occasion, for a reason. They found that the grave had not been fully prepared and dug, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sat waiting for the grave to be ready. His Companions sat around him, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave them a sermon. So this was a sermon for a specific reason. As for making it a permanent recommended practice, there is no basis for that. Yes.
