Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: What is the ruling on burying a deceased person at night?

The Shaykh:
It is permissible if there is a need for it. The Black woman was buried at night, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not know about it; they buried her at night, and he did not disapprove of their burying her at night. He only disapproved of the fact that they did not notify him or inform him of it.

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: And is it permissible...

The Shaykh:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) buried some of the Companions at night, and a lamp was lit for him in the grave. Yes.
