Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner says: After the burial of the deceased, I wanted to make supplication for him. He asks: Should I raise my hands in supplication and face the qiblah, or not?
The Shaykh : What appears from the fact that the Messenger of Allah, when he finished the burial, would stand over it and say, "Seek forgiveness for your brother and ask for him to be granted steadfastness," is that the hands are not raised. However, if a person raises his hands while facing the grave, there is no harm. Yes.
