Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I am a student of knowledge, and I was informed of my father's passing yesterday (may Allah have mercy on him). The question is: Is it permissible for me to pray the funeral prayer over his grave when I go on my break?
Answer:
If the time is close to the passing, yes, you pray over his grave. But if the time is late and you do not arrive until after a period has passed, supplication is sufficient; you do not pray over the grave because the time has passed. You restrict yourself to supplicating for him. Yes.
