Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If I enter the cemetery after the 'Asr prayer, accompanying a funeral, and I find a funeral that was buried after the Zuhr prayer, and the grave is still fresh, is it permissible to pray over it?
Answer:
Pray over it, and the intended purpose is achieved. However, make du'a for the deceased, and that is sufficient. Stand at his grave, make du'a for him, and seek forgiveness for him. Yes. Do not come at a time other than the prohibited times; pray over him at a time other than the prohibited times. Yes.
