Azaan at the grave side

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: In a video clip, Dr Muhammad Tahir ul Qadri, soon after burying one of his workers, asks a person to offer adhan (Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar Laa Ilaaha illAllahu Allahu Akbar) alongside his grave and then is shown trying to spoon-feed the answers to the three questions that are asked in the grave. Is that act permissible in Shariah?

A: There is no basis to call out the azaan at the side of the grave at any time. 

تنبيه في الاقتصاد على ما ذكر من الوارد إشارة إلى أنه لا يسن الأذان عند إدخال الميت في قبره كما هو المعتاد الآن وقد صرح ابن حجر في فتاويه بأنه بدعة وقال ومن ظن أنه سنة قياسا على ندبهما للمولود إلحاقا لخاتمة الأمر بابتدائه فلم يصب (رد المحتار 2/ 235)
