Question:
This is Abu Ziyad asking. He says: I learned of the death of one of my friends, but that was after a week. When I returned to the Kingdom, I went to the cemetery and prayed over him and made supplication for him. Is there anything wrong with this delay and this action?

This is a good thing, that you go and pray over him, as long as he was recently buried, he is prayed over. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
