Question
At one burial I attended, the imam gave a lecture whilst the grave was being filled. He spoke at length of the accomplishments of the mayyit. Is this a proper time for lectures?
Answer
It is also a haraam bid'ah to start a lecture whilst the Qabr is being filled with soil. Narrating the life story of the mayyit in this type of bid'ah lecture is not permissible. It is likewise bid'ah.
