Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some of the brothers in al-Nasim cemetery and others object to people standing to pray the funeral prayer at the grave. They consider this to be among the wrongs and say that one should not pray over the deceased except after burial. Is their objection correct, given that there is much dispute and raising of voices regarding this matter?

Answer:
The prayer over the deceased before burial, or is it not? Is the prayer over the funeral before burial, or is it after burial? The prayer over the funeral before burial, or is it after burial? One only prays over the deceased after burial if the prayer over the deceased before burial was missed. They have no evidence for this. Yes.
