What is the ruling on raising the hands in supplication after burying the deceased, and when visiting graves?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Yesterday, may Allah protect you, you mentioned that raising the hands in supplication after burying the deceased is permissible, and likewise when visiting

The Shaykh:
it is recommended, because raising the hands in supplication is among the causes of acceptance, and it involves humility before Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), except in the instances where the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) made supplication and did not raise his hands.

The questioner:
And he also says, may Allah protect you: Are the hands raised when visiting a grave?

The Shaykh:
They are raised when making supplication. Yes.
