What to recite after burial and congregational dua after burial
Question
1. Please explain what should be read whilst/after the burial of the deceased at the side of the grave.
2. Is it correct to recite Quraan aloud, e.g. Surah Yaseen and the first/last aayaat of Surah Baqarah. If not aloud, will it be sunnat to recite softly individually.
3. Is it permissible to make congregational dua on this occasion?
Answer
1. The recommended things to read are the beginning and ending of Surah Baqarah, dua for maghfirat and dua for steadfastness at the time of being questioned.
2. All this should be done softly and independently, and encourage others to also recite.
3. Yes.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
