Times for the Funeral Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, do we pray over the deceased at any time, or only after the obligatory prayer? And what is prescribed in the supplication during the funeral prayer?
Answer:
The prayer is performed over the deceased at any time that is convenient, except when the sun is directly overhead in the middle of the sky; in that case, it is postponed until the time for the midday prayer enters, and then it is performed. Apart from that, it is a short time, but prayer is prohibited during it. Likewise, the funeral prayer is prohibited when the sun is rising or when it is setting. In these three times, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited praying over the funeral when the sun is rising brightly, when it is setting, and when it is directly overhead in the sky. Yes.
