Combining the Prohibition of Prayer and Burial with the Funeral Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how do you reconcile the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade us to pray during three hours?"

The Shaykh:
This is the statement of 'Uqbah ibn 'Amir. What is the exact wording of the statement? Yes.

The questioner:
And that we bury our dead in them. How do you reconcile this with the statement of the scholars who say that it is permissible to pray prayers for specific causes, including the funeral prayer?

The Shaykh:
These are times when one does not perform an independent prayer. The solar eclipse does not preclude prayer, and the setting of the sun in the time of its rising also does not preclude prayer for an independent prayer. Yes.
