Summary
The fatwa concludes that giving a tazkirah at the graveside, either during or after the burial, is permissible (harus). It relies on the hadith of Ali ibn Abi Talib about the Prophet sitting and advising the people at Baqi', and the hadith of Uthman about him asking people to seek forgiveness and steadfastness for the deceased. The talk should not be made like the Friday or Eid sermon, but remain an ordinary reminder and an encouragement to pray for the deceased's forgiveness.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
kami berpendapat bahawa hukum menyampaikan tazkirah diperkuburan sesudah atau semasa proses pengebumian dijalankan, adalah harus.
