Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is for the one who places the deceased in the grave to say: "In the name of Allah and according to the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah" or "and upon the religion of the Messenger of Allah." After burial, it is Sunnah to seek forgiveness for the deceased and to supplicate for their steadfastness, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Seek forgiveness for your brother and ask for steadfastness for him, for indeed, he is now being questioned."
