The time for supplicating for the deceased after burial

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is the supplication for the deceased to be done after the burial or during the burial?

Answer:
After the completion of the burial. This is explicit. Yes, one stands over it and supplicates for him for forgiveness and the removal of burdens, and at the time of burial one says, "In the name of Allah and upon the blessing of the Messenger of Allah," supplicates for him for forgiveness and protects him. If one supplicates for him, there is no harm.
