Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I had a relative who went out to sea and traveled, but he died, and we did not learn of his death until months later, and we did not find his body at all. His question is: Is it permissible for us to pray the funeral prayer for the absent one for him after such a long time?
Answer:
No, you do not pray the funeral prayer for the absent one for him, but you make du'a' for him. You make du'a' for him, you give charity on his behalf, and you perform Hajj or 'Umrah on his behalf. Yes.
