So I say, a questioner asked and said: Some people, when they bury the deceased, one of them makes a supplication and urges the others to say "Ameen" to his supplication. He asked: Is this from the Sunnah?

So I say, a questioner asked and said: Some people, when they bury the deceased, one of them makes a supplication and urges the others to say "Ameen" to his supplication. He asked: Is this from the Sunnah? The answer was: No. Nothing is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) after the burial of the deceased except that three handfuls of earth are thrown on his grave, without reciting verses. This classification, this arrangement, this system is not authentic from the Messenger (peace be upon him). Rather, what is authentic is that one takes a handful and throws it on the grave, in accordance with the text, in silence, without reading anything. A first handful, a second, and a third. It is also established that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So everyone who is present at the burial, at the grave, at the burial, is addressed by the command of the Messenger (peace be upon him): This is the steadfastness that the Messenger (peace be upon him) commanded those around the grave to ask Allah for him. This and that, other than these two, is not established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). So, throwing earth three times without reading anything, and secondly, seeking forgiveness for the deceased and asking Allah for steadfastness for him. Nothing after that. Everyone departs to their interests, to their work, to their homes. As for what is known as "ta'lim" (instructing the deceased), this instruction does not benefit the deceased at all. If we do not say that it may harm him. It is exactly like instructing a student during an exam. If the student has not prepared himself to answer well about what he will be examined on, does the instruction benefit him? No, it does not benefit him; it may harm him. This is like "Perhaps they will understand." The deceased who died, we strike it as they say in some countries, "Alawiyyah," died as an atheist. What is the benefit? You say: If they come to you and ask you, "Who is your Lord?" Say, "My Lord is Allah." He cannot do that, why? Because he did not practice himself, he did not take his lessons during his lifetime to be able to answer that question from the angel assigned to question him. So this "ta'lim" is first, not valid in the Shari'ah, and then it is not reasonable and not digestible by the mind. For this reason, we say: Bring forward whoever has a question.
