The ruling on one who died without having prayed before his death due to illness, and the ruling on delaying the burial of the funeral to wait for an absentee

The questioner:
May Allah reward you. The deceased passed away, may Allah preserve you. He has not attended the prayer since Saturday. On Saturday he did not perform the ablution because he was suffering from a clot, and he passed away at the time of the midday prayer.
The Shaykh:
It is fine. Well, his son. He prayed the funeral prayer for him, just the funeral prayer for him.
The questioner:
He is traveling in America, and he called him, and he will come tomorrow at the time of the sunset prayer. Perhaps we can delay it so he can come. Perhaps we can delay it, there is nothing wrong with that, meaning even on the basis that he is coming to see him. He passed away, I do not praise him.
The Shaykh:
It is not obligatory. Pray for him and pray over the grave. Pray over the grave, or is there? The recommended practice is to hasten. Hurry with the funeral. This is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded. And when he arrives, pray over the grave.
The presenter:
Pray for him, may Allah have mercy on him.
