The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Regarding the prayer over graves after they are buried, is the prayer performed over every grave, whether one knows its owner or not?
The Shaykh:
As long as he is a Muslim, pray over him. As long as he is a Muslim in a Muslim cemetery, pray over him. Yes, it is an increase in good. Yes.
The presenter:
Then he says, may Allah preserve you: Is the prayer over the grave limited to a specific time?
The Shaykh:
They say up to one month, because after a month his body decomposes. So the prayer is performed over it for up to one month. Yes.
