The ruling on burying the deceased at night

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible for us to give [the body] at night, or is it not claimed?

The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with burying the dead at night, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did so, so there is nothing wrong with burying the dead at night. Hastening to bury the deceased is required, and it should not be delayed without a valid purpose.

The questioner:
All right.

The Shaykh:
The woman who was in the mosque and died at night, and they buried her at night, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not disapprove of that. Yes.
