The Ruling on Praying the Funeral Prayer Inside the Cemetery
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah to do you good, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on praying the funeral prayer inside the cemetery?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that; it is permissible to pray over the funeral inside the cemetery. Also, praying over the grave if the prayer was missed before the burial is permissible, for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed over a grave. So there is nothing wrong with that. What is forbidden is praying other than the funeral prayer; that is what is forbidden. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
