Ruling on Carrying the Funeral Procession with the Burdah Hymns
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q2: What is the ruling on carrying the funeral procession with the Burdah hymns - by al-Busiri - and eating the food of the bereaved family?
A2: Reciting the Burdah poem or other poems, or Qur'an, or hymns in front of the funeral procession is an invented religious innovation, so it is prohibited; based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Sahih Muslim 1718a , and in another narration: Sahih Muslim 1718b . And success is from Allah. And may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
A2: Reciting the Burdah poem or other poems, or Qur'an, or hymns in front of the funeral procession is an invented religious innovation, so it is prohibited; based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
'A'isha reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: He who innovates things in our affairs for which there is no valid (reason) (commits sin) and these are to be rejected.
من أحدث في أمرنا هذا ما ليس منه فهو ردHe who did any act for which there is no sanction from our behalf, that is to be rejected.
من عمل عملاً ليس عليه أمرنا فهو رد
