Collective supplication for the deceased at the grave

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on standing at the grave and then performing collective supplication for the deceased? Is this permissible?

Answer:
This is a bid'ah (religious innovation). Collective supplication is a bid'ah. One should supplicate for the deceased alone and not associate with others. Yes.
