The ruling on praying for the deceased after burial

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: It is reported that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed over the grave of the woman who used to clean the mosque when he learned of her death. He asks: Is this cited as evidence for the permissibility of this matter, or is it specific to her?

Answer:
No, it is not specific to her. If you missed the prayer for your Muslim brother or your Muslim sister, and you missed praying for them before burial, then pray for them after burial, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did.
