Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is it permissible to pray the funeral prayer at the grave after the deceased has been buried?
The Shaykh:
Is it?
The questioner:
Is it permissible to pray the funeral prayer at the grave after the deceased has been buried?
The Shaykh:
Yes, it is permissible to pray over his grave if the prayer over him was missed before burial. One prays over his grave. When the woman who used to sweep the mosque died, she died at night and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was not informed to pray over her. He inquired about her, went to her, and prayed over her grave. This indicates that whoever misses the funeral prayer prays over the grave, and there is no harm in that. Yes.
