The ruling on reciting over the deceased during burial and calling the adhan in his ear
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We have received a number of questions in which the questioners ask about the ruling on reciting over the deceased during burial in the cemetery, or after burial, such as reciting Surat al-Fatihah in particular, and about the ruling on calling the adhan and iqamah in the ear of the deceased before burial?
Answer:
This is from religious innovations: reciting over the deceased after burial, or at the grave, or calling the adhan in the grave, or the iqamah in the grave, or reciting in the grave; all of these are religious innovations that are not permissible. They have no basis, and the Chosen One (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do them, nor did his Companions. Therefore, it is not permissible for a believer to recite over the deceased at the graves, nor to recite over him in the grave, nor while he is lying in his house, or in the grave, or at the grave, nor to perform the iqamah or call the adhan in the grave. All of this has no basis.
Recitation is only done for the person who is on his deathbed before he dies, so that he may benefit and profit. As for after death, his deeds are cut off except for what he sent ahead, as in the authentic hadith: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Riyad as-Salihin 1383.

When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah Jariyah (ceaseless charity); a knowledge which is beneficial, or a virtuous descendant who prays for him (for the deceased).
إذا مات ابنُ آدم انقطع عملُه إلا من ثلاثٍ: صدقة جارية –يعني: وقفًا أجراه- أو علم يُنتفع به، أو ولد صالح يدعو له
