Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this woman says: My grandfather passed away last week in Yemen, and I am in Riyadh. Her question is: Can I pray for him here? And we ask you to supplicate for his forgiveness.
Answer:
There is no harm in praying for him during the days of his death; a long period should not pass, but rather it should be within the days of his death.
