Question

Is it permissible to give Adhan in the grave before placing the deceased inside?

Answer

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

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

It is not permissible to give Adhan inside or outside the grave. To give Adhan inside or outside the grave is incorrect and an act of bid’ah.[1]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

في الاقتصار على ما ذكر من الوارد إشارة إلى أنه لا يسن الأذان عند إدخال الميت في قبره كما هو المعتاد الآن، وقد صرح ابن حجر في فتاويه بأنه بدعة. وقال: ومن ظن أنه سنة قياسا على ندبهما للمولود إلحاقا لخاتمة الأمر بابتدائه فلم يصب. اهـ

علامہ شامی نے باب الاذان اور کتاب الجنائز میں نقل کیا ہے کہ قبر پر اذان دینا بدعت ہے
