Question:
The questioner says: My grandmother passed away forty years ago, and no one prayed for her because we were ignorant of that.
Answer:
The time has passed, the time has passed. Now, he prayed at the grave for a period of one month, because after a month the body decomposes and becomes dust. Yes, so the time has passed. But make du'a for her, seek forgiveness for her, and give charity on her behalf. Yes.
