Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if there is a specific place in the cemetery for performing the funeral prayer, is this permissible?

Answer:
No, one does not designate a specific place for the funeral prayer. One prays over the funeral in any suitable place, and this varies according to circumstances. Any spot where one can pray over the funeral, or over its grave if it was buried without a designated place, is fine. Yes.
