❖ 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.
