The collective supplication in the cemetery after burial
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner from outside this country says: In our country, after the burial, the imam forms a circle in the cemetery and then begins to supplicate with the people in a group.
Answer:
This is a bid'ah (religious innovation), this is a bid'ah. There is no forming of circles; rather, one supplicates for the deceased at his grave. When he is buried, they stand at his grave and supplicate for him, asking Allah to grant him steadfastness, and then they leave.
