Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It was said regarding the house: if a person is unable to reach the grave due to the crowd of people or because the grave is far away, then he should pray in the mosque near the grave for the deceased, and this does not end at a specific time.
Answer:
No, he prays over the grave. He stands over the grave itself, places it in front of him, and prays over it. This is how one prays over a grave: he places it in front of him, exactly as with a funeral prayer.
