Summary
Supplicating after the funeral prayer is permissible and is not regarded as delaying the burial. The ruling relies on the general sense of Surah al-Baqarah verse 186, so supplications are answered as long as they are not made at a prohibited place or time. The imam may also recite fuller transmitted supplications and let the congregation hear them, since most people only memorise short ones.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Manakala berkaitan dengan perbuatan berdoa sesudah menunaikan solat jenazah, ia adalah dibolehkan dan tidak dianggap sebagai melewat-lewatkan proses pengkebumian jenazah.
