The ruling on praying over a funeral after it has been buried

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If the funeral prayer is performed in the mosque, and then the body is brought to the cemetery for burial, and there are some people who did not pray over it in the mosque, is it better for them to pray over it before its burial or after?

Answer:
No, before its burial. Praying over the grave is only if the prayer over it before burial was missed. As long as it is possible to pray over it before burial, it is prayed over before burial.
