The ruling on praying over a funeral before or after burial

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: If there are people in the cemetery who did not pray over the funeral in the mosque, what is preferable: praying over the funeral before burial or after it?

Answer:
No, before burial. Praying over the funeral is done before burial. One only prays over the grave if the prayer over the body before burial was missed. As long as it has not been buried, one prays over it. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
