Repeating the funeral prayer after burial
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: What is the ruling on repeating the funeral prayer after the deceased has been buried, by several congregations, especially after the 'Asr prayer?
The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with it. The one who did not pray over the deceased should pray over him, even after the burial. There is no harm in that. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed over some of the deceased for whom he had not prayed before their burial. He went and prayed over their graves (peace and blessings be upon him). So the one who was unable to pray over the funeral before its burial should pray over it after the burial. Yes.
The questioner:
Even if it is repeated with the Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
Even if the congregations are repeated over him, this is an increase in good, this is an increase in good and supplication for the deceased. Yes.
