Is It Permissible to Call the Adhan at the Grave After Burial?

❖ Ruling on Calling the Adhan After Burial​

In Islamic teachings, there is no authentic evidence supporting the practice of calling the Adhan (call to prayer) at the grave after the burial of a deceased person. This act is not established from the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, his companions, or the rightly guided caliphs. Therefore, introducing such a practice is considered an innovation (bid'ah) in the religion.

❖ Clarification Regarding Imam al-Shafi'i's Attribution​

Some individuals attribute the practice of calling the Adhan at the grave to Imam al-Shafi'i رحمه الله. However, this attribution lacks authentic evidence. Scholars have clarified that Imam al-Shafi'i did not endorse this practice, and any claims suggesting otherwise are unfounded. Introducing practices into the religion without authentic backing from the Qur'an or Sunnah is not permissible.

❖ Summary​

① Calling the Adhan at the grave after burial is not established in Islamic teachings and is considered an innovation.

② Attributing this practice to Imam al-Shafi'i رحمه الله is incorrect and lacks authentic evidence.

③ Muslims are advised to adhere strictly to practices established by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his companions, avoiding innovations in religious matters.
