Calling out Azaan in the qabrastaan

· 15 Rabiʻ I 1438 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Is it permissible to give Azaan in the qabrastaan e.g. inside the qabar or after burial?

Answer

This practice is a bid’ah (innovatory practice) and is not established in the Sunnah. Hence, it should be totally avoided.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
