Is it permissible to pray the funeral prayer after the 'Asr prayer, i.e., during the prohibited times?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible to pray over the dead during the prohibited times? Because many people pray the funeral prayer after the 'Asr prayer?

Answer:
Yes, because the prohibited time after 'Asr is long, and the funeral would be harmed [by delay], so it is prayed over. After 'Asr and after Fajr, the time is long; the funeral is not held back, it is prayed over. Yes.
