Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if a person dies before reaching the age of puberty, and is buried without a funeral prayer, and his grave is not known among the graves, how is the prayer performed for him?
Answer:
If a long time has passed, meaning a long period of time has elapsed, then the prayer is not performed for him. However, if the time is short, they should strive to identify the grave and pray over the grave.
