Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If a person has died, and as the brother just asked, if no prayer was offered for him, what is the duration for which he can be prayed for?
The Shaykh:
The scholars say from one month to another, approximately.
The questioner:
After a month, and you can still pray for him.
The Shaykh:
The most that has been reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is one month.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you.
