Praying over the deceased more than once

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible to pray over a deceased person more than once?

Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with it, because it is intercession and supplication, and the deceased is in need of it. So if he was not prayed over in the mosque and some people were present who did not pray over him, they pray over him; then others come and pray over him, and so on. As for one person repeating the prayer over him, I do not know any basis for repeating the prayer over him. But those who did not catch the prayer over him may pray over him in groups; there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
