Question:
What is the ruling on praying over a deceased person at his grave when there are many graves between the grave and the qiblah?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. If you missed the funeral prayer for the deceased before burial, you pray over his grave, even if there are many graves in front of you. This is because the funeral prayer is specifically permissible in the cemetery. The funeral prayer alone is permissible in the cemetery, whereas the other prayers are not permissible in the cemetery.
