The Ruling on Performing the Funeral Prayer in the Cemetery
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
There is a place in the cemetery where the funeral prayer is performed, but no other prayers are held there. Is it permissible to perform the funeral prayer in the cemetery at this prayer area?
Yes.
There is nothing wrong with performing the funeral prayer in the cemetery, because there is no evidence prohibiting it,And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (I have been made the earth a mosque and a place of purification) and I am not aware of any Sunnah regarding this, but it is established that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed over a grave, and that was in the story of the woman who used to clean the mosque -Meaning: she would remove the trash from it- so she died at night, and it seems they discussed her matter and said: We will not inform the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about it. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked about her, they said: She died at night. So he said: (Why did you not notify me?) -Meaning: Inform me-Then he said: (Show me her grave) so they showed him her grave, and he went out and prayed over her, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). This indicates the permissibility of praying over a deceased person in the cemetery, and there is no difference between one who has been buried and one who has not yet been buried.
Yes.
