The Ruling on the Adhan and Iqamah When Placing the Deceased in the Grave

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Q: What is the ruling on the adhan and iqamah at the grave of the deceased when he is placed in it?

A: There is no doubt that this is a bid'ah (religious innovation) for which Allah has not sent down any authority; because this was not transmitted from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) or from his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), and all good lies in following them and treading their path, as He, the Exalted, said:

And the first forerunners [in the faith] among the Muhajireen and the Ansar and those who followed them with good conduct - Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him

وَالسَّابِقُونَ الْأَوَّلُونَ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارِ وَالَّذِينَ اتَّبَعُوهُمْ بِإِحْسَانٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا عَنْهُ

[Surah al-Tawbah: 100], and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

'A'isha reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: He who innovates things in our affairs for which there is no valid (reason) (commits sin) and these are to be rejected.

من أحدث في أمرنا هذا ما ليس منه فهو رد

Sahih Muslim 1718a

, and in another wording he, may Allah's prayers and blessings be upon him, said:

He who did any act for which there is no sanction from our behalf, that is to be rejected.

من عمل عملا ليس عليه أمرنا فهو رد

Sahih Muslim 1718b

, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

And the most evil affairs are their innovations; and every innovation is error.

وشر الأمور محدثاتها وكل بدعة ضلالة

Sahih Muslim 867a

, narrated by Muslim in his Sahih from the hadith of Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
