Is it true that praying over the deceased before burial is not permissible?

Question:
A group wanted to pray over their funeral in the cemetery before it was buried, so one of the people objected to them, urging them to pray over it after the burial, and stating that praying over it before burial in the cemetery is not permissible. Is his statement correct?

Answer:
This is an ignorant person, this is an ignorant person, and it is not permissible for him to speak about what he does not know. Pray over the funeral before burial and after burial, and praying over the funeral before burial is better, because it is a direct prayer over the funeral, so it is better than praying over it after burial. Yes, I told you, these fatwas, their issuers must fear Allah and not expose people by saying this is halal and this is haram when they do not know, saying it from their own ideas and their own brains, thereby misleading people, may Allah protect us from that. Yes.
