Question

It is customary in our village that after burying a dead body, some mustard seeds are sprinkled on his grave and palm leaves are cut 1/2 hand long and four are placed in the four corners of the grave and one in the middle of the grave. Falaq, Nas and Ayatul Kursi recite one each. What I want to know from you is, is it legal to do the above? If not, will it cause any problems? 3856717551

Answer

- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -

After the burial, sprinkling mustard on the grave and burying tree branches, i.e. four at the four corners of the grave and one in the middle, while reciting the prescribed verse or surah, are all baseless fabrications; which is included in bid'ah. The shroud, burial and subsequent matters are prescribed by the Shari'ah. In this case, there is no opportunity to add anything by yourself. Muslims must refrain from such acts. 4323983724
