The ruling on burying the deceased at night
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
There are many questions that have been difficult for me regarding burying the deceased at night. If a person dies during the day, is it permissible to bury him at night?
Answer:
If there is a dire necessity for it, there is nothing wrong with it. But if he was prepared during the day, the prayer was performed over him, and the Muslims were present, no, it is not that he is buried at night. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was present for a burial at night in some circumstances. The one who is prohibited from this is the one who dies at night and is buried at night, and no one knows about it; that is what was prohibited. As for a person who dies during the day, is prepared, and the prayer is performed over him, but it is not feasible for them to bury him except at night, there is no obstacle. Yes.

May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
