Question: What is the ruling concerning (pronouncing) the adhaan and the iqaamah at the graveside after burial?
Response: There is no doubt that this is an innovation and not from that which Allaah has revealed. This has not been transmitted from the Prophet ﷺ nor from his Companions, and all good is derived from following their manner and path, as Allaah (Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala) says:
{And the first to embrace Islaam of the Muhaajiroon and the Ansaar and also those who followed them exactly (in Faith). Allaah is well-pleased with them as they are well-pleased with Him}, [Soorah at-Towbah, Aayah 100].
And the Prophet ﷺ said:
«Whoever introduces anything into this matter of ours (i.e. Islaam) that which is not from it, will have it rejected», [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree/2697 and Saheeh Muslim/1718].
And in another narration he ﷺ said:
«Anyone who does an act which is not in agreement with us, then he will have it rejected», [Muslim].
And he ﷺ said:
«…and the worst of matters are the newly introduced matters (innovations), and every innovation is misguidance,…», reported by Muslim in his Saheeh from the hadeeth of Jaabir (radhi-yAllaahu ‘anhu).
And may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet ﷺ and his family and his companions.
