The time of burying one who dies at night
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Yes. If a person dies at night, is it better to bury him at night or delay it until morning?
The Shaykh:
If he dies in the early part of the night, when the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers are offered for him, that is better. But if he dies in the middle of the night, it is better to delay it until the Fajr prayer is offered for him, so that more people gather and attend the funeral procession. This is better for him and better for his family than if they were called upon to seek forgiveness for him. Yes.
