The prayer over the deceased after a month has passed since his burial

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The last question in this episode: Muhammad Yahya asks, “What is the ruling on praying over the deceased after a full month has passed since his burial?”

Answer:
No, after the month, one does not pray over him, because in most cases his body has decomposed. Praying over a deceased person is permissible up to a month from his death, yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, Shaykh Salih, and may Allah bless you and reward you, and may He place that in your scales of good deeds.
