Repeating the prayer over the grave and raising the hands in supplication

The questioner:
It is not a matter of concern. If you wish to visit a friend of yours who passed away more than five years ago, is it not permissible for you to go out to his grave? You visited him, and if you wish to pray for him and make supplication, you may sit near him or envy your situation.

The Shaykh:
As for the prayer over him, do not repeat it; the prayer you offered over him before his burial is sufficient. As for greeting him and making supplication for him, this is prescribed. You should face the qiblah, place the grave between you and the qiblah, and make supplication for him. If you raise your hands, there is no harm, because the default in supplication is to raise the hands, except in the places where the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made supplication and did not raise his hands. Yes.

The questioner:
Yes.

The Shaykh:
Whether you raise your hands or not, there is no harm; all of it is fine, if Allah wills. Yes.
