Repeating the Prayer over the Deceased and the Times of Prohibition

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks Shaykh Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him): Although the prayer is delayed until after the time of prohibition, if one prayed in the mosque, is it permissible to pray a second time?

Answer:
There is no harm in it. Repeating the prayer over the deceased is not a problem, because it is a supplication that adds good. So if he prayed over him in the mosque and prayed over him in the cemetery, there is no harm in that; it is an addition of good. As for praying during the times of prohibition, there is no harm after 'Asr or after Fajr. The prohibition of praying over the deceased applies at the rising of the sun, when it is at the zenith of the sky, and at its setting. These are three times: at its setting, at its rising, and when it is in the middle of the sky. In these three times, one does not pray over the deceased in the mosque. Yes.
