The Ruling on Collective Supplication for the Deceased
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on making supplication aloud for the deceased, with the people saying "Ameen" behind him during the burial?
Answer:
No, they do not say "Ameen." They make supplication, each one making supplication for himself, just as each person makes supplication on his own. One person does not make supplication while they say "Ameen." The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: They stand over him, and each one seeks forgiveness for him, and each one asks for steadfastness for him. It is not to be a collective supplication, nor is it for one person to make supplication while they say "Ameen." This is contrary to the Sunnah. Yes.

When he had finished burying one of the Companions, he stood over him and said: "Seek forgiveness for your brother and ask for steadfastness for him, for he is now being questioned."
لما فرغ من دفن أحد الصحابة وقف عليه وقال اسْتَغْفِرُوا لأَخِيكُمْ وَسَلُوا لَهُ التَّثْبِيتَ فَإِنَّهُ الآنَ يُسْأَلُ
