Question:
The questioner says: Your Eminence Shaykh, I have seen some people, when they place the deceased in the niche of the grave, they perform the Adhan (call to prayer) and the Iqamah (second call to prayer) over him. Is this [practice] correct?
Answer:
This is an innovation (Bid’ah). The Adhan in the grave and the Iqamah in the grave is an innovation that is not permissible. All of this is not allowed—neither after the burial nor before the burial; all of it is impermissible.
