Question:
If the funeral is brought to the cemetery and some people have not yet prayed over it, is it better to pray over it before burial or after?
Answer:
No, before burial. Praying over it before burial is better. There is no doubt that it is superior. Praying over the grave is only if one missed the prayer over the funeral. As long as the funeral is present on the surface of the earth, he prays over it.
