If a group of children is buried, each in a separate grave, is one funeral prayer sufficient for them?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A large group of children was buried, each or every one in a separate grave. Should I pray over every grave, which is difficult for me, or is it sufficient to pray one funeral prayer for all of them?

Answer:
If the graves are in front of you, if the graves are in front of you, you pray over all of them. But if they are scattered, each grave requires a prayer, and this is a recommended practice. However, if you have prayed over them, the objective has been achieved. But as a recommended practice, if you did not pray over them and you want the reward, there is no harm. If they are all in your qiblah direction, consecutive, pray over all of them. And if they are scattered, each grave has its own prayer.
