Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is it permissible to bury the dead after Fajr and after 'Asr? And what is the meaning of the hadith of 'Uqbah ibn 'Amir in which he said:Sahih Ibn Hibban 9:111?
Answer:
Yes, it is not permissible to bury the dead at the time the sun rises, at the time it is standing in the middle of the sky before it declines, and at the time the sun is setting until it disappears. These are short times, but one must not begin the burial in them, otherwise they are not long enough to bury the dead. However, one must not begin the burial in these three times. As for before and after them, there is no harm in burying the dead; indeed, hastening to bury the dead is better. Yes.

Three times in which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade us to pray or to bury our dead.
ثلاث ساعات نهانا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أن نصلي فيهن أو ندفن فيهن موتاناAnswer:
