The questioner : May Allah reward you. In these days, in al-Baqi' next to the Prophet's Mosque, it happens that some people gather around the grave where their deceased is buried, and they take turns making du'a' and raising their voices in saying "Ameen." So, if a person sees something of this, should he rebuke them while they are making du'a' and admonish them to follow the Sunnah and leave this?
The Shaykh : There is no harm in this. Admonition when a wrong is committed is necessary. However, a person should stand and give a general admonition, because admonition when a wrong is committed is a form of forbidding the wrong, not a sermon.
As we said regarding the issue of marriage, some people at the wedding gathering find a person standing and admonishing the people with a sermon without being asked to do so, even though this is a place of joy and a place where people witness one another, and perhaps he has not seen his brother or neighbor for a long time. So this person stands and delivers the admonition. What would be the situation if they found this admonition burdensome, and it includes the Book and the Sunnah? It is a problem, a problem. Yes, if he sees a wrong, he stands and speaks, or he is told, "O so-and-so, admonish us, may Allah reward you with good." In this case, he has responded to their request, and there is no harm. Yes.
