Dua for the deceased during burial

fatwa-tt October 3, 2014

Question:

During the actual burial procedure – is there at any time a period where the mourning (paak-) ladies (remaining at the deceased’s home) are not allowed to read any Quraan; Dhikr, etc on behalf of the Marghoom? JazakALLAH and Regards

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

The time when the deceased is most desperate of duas and the mercy of Allah Ta’ala is when he is buried. That is the most trying time for him as the two angels, Munkar and Nakeer approach him and asks him three questions,

1) Who is your lord?

2) What is your religion?

3) Who is your prophet?2

The eternal success of a person depends on him successfully answering these questions.

Family members and friends should implore Allah Ta’ala to forgive him and make it easy for him to successfully answer these questions.

Surah Ikhlaas may be recited 11 times, also Surah Yaseen and Surah Mulk. Dua and forgiveness should be made for the deceased.

Sayyiduna Uthman (Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu alahi wa sallam), would stand by the grave after buring the deceased and say: “Seek forgiveness for your brother and pray for his steadfastness, for he is now being questioned.” (Sunan Abi Dawud, no: 3213)

 

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

31202–حدثنا محمود بن غيلان حدثنا أبو داود حدثنا شعبة أخبرني علقمة بن مرثد قال سمعت سعد بن عبيدة يحدث عن البراء : عن النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم في قول الله { يثبت الله الذين آمنوا بالقول الثابت في الحياة الدنيا وفي الآخرة } قال في القبر إذا قيل له من ربك وما دينك ومن نبيك ؟ سنن الترمذي(5/ 295)

                    

3 عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ، قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، إِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ دَفْنِ الْمَيِّتِ وَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: «اسْتَغْفِرُوا لِأَخِيكُمْ، وَسَلُوا لَهُ بِالتَّثْبِيتِ، فَإِنَّهُ الْآنَ يُسْأَلُ( سنن أبي داود(3/215 )

ويقرأ يس وفي الحديث من قرأ الإخلاص أحد عشر مرة ثم وهب أجرها للأموات أعطي من الأجر بعدد الأموات (الدر المختار – ط. الفكر (2/ 243)

تنبيه الحاصل أن الموت إن كان حدثا فلا كراهة في القراءة عنده وإن كان نجسا كرهت 1

وعلى الأول يحمل ما في النتف وعلى الثاني ما في الزيلعي وغيره

رد المحتار – ط. بابي الحلبي (2/ 194) وذكر ط أن محل الكراهة إذا كان قريبا منه أما إذا بعد عنه بالقراءة فلا كراهة
