Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Faisal Salih from Makkah al-Mukarramah says: If a man dies and is buried, and I was outside the Kingdom, and I came back after a month, am I allowed to visit him in the cemetery and pray for him?
Answer:
The prayer for the deceased has passed. The prayer for the deceased lasts up to one month; once the month is over, the prayer for him has passed, because in most cases his body has decomposed. As for visiting him to greet him and make du'a for him, that continues, praise be to Allah. This is a right of a Muslim over another Muslim. Yes.
