Funerals

Reciting the shahādah and making dhikr aloud while lifting the janāzah (funeral bier)

❓ Question: Nowadays, when a funeral procession is carried out, people recite the shahādah loudly (as they walk with it). In some areas, along with the funeral, people recite poems aloud. Is this practice proven by the Qurān and ḥadīth? Please guide us. (A questioner from Lahore, Pakistan)

Staying at the grave after the funeral

❓ Question: Is there a ḥadīth that recommends staying by the grave once the dead body is buried for a period of time equal to that taken for slaughtering a camel? What does that mean?
