Question:
This person asks whether the funeral prayer, meaning the prayer over the deceased, is valid if performed inside the graveyard?
Answer:
Yes. The prayer over the deceased is an exception; it is prayed over inside the graveyard. The prohibition applies to other prayers, but there is no harm in the funeral prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed over the grave when he missed praying over the deceased; he (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed over the grave. Praying over the deceased or over the grave for one who missed praying over them before burial is prescribed, yes.
