The questioner:
Is it a condition to place the grave between the one praying and the qiblah in the funeral prayer in the cemetery?
The Shaykh:
I mean, you bring the funeral and leave it at the grave. Do not pray over the funeral in a place of harm. Or if your intention is to pray over the grave, then place it between you and the grave. But if you are praying over a funeral that has not been buried, then move it away from the graves to an open space in the cemetery. Yes.
