The Duration of the Funeral Prayer over the Deceased in the Grave

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is it permissible to pray over the deceased at his grave without specifying a time limit, and what is the ruling on praying over him during the prohibited times?

Answer:
One prays over the deceased for those who did not pray over him before burial. One prays over him until one month. Until one month for the absent person when he arrives, and for the one whose death did not reach him. One prays over him until one month, because after one month the body decomposes. But before one month, his body remains, so one prays over him until one month, as the scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) mentioned. Yes.
