Is it true that if they continue to recite over his grave until Friday, then Friday will delay the reckoning for him until the Day of Resurrection, and he will no longer be questioned in the grave?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it true that if they continue to recite over his grave until Friday, then Friday will delay the reckoning for him until the Day of Resurrection, and he will no longer be questioned in the grave?
The Shaykh : This is not correct, because the basis of this practice, as we have mentioned, is not from the Sunnah, but rather it is a religious innovation (bid'ah). And a religious innovation (bid'ah) does not benefit anything; it does not bring one closer to Allah, nor does it have any results in reward or recompense.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : He says in his last question.
