The ruling on praying over a funeral after it has been buried

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Is it permissible to pray over a funeral after it has been buried for a day, and is there a specific time that is more meritorious?
It is permissible to pray over a grave after one day, two days, a month, two months, a year, or two years, but on the condition that this grave was buried after the birth of the person who wants to pray over it, or rather, after he was distinguished,For example: If a person who is twenty years old comes and wants to pray over a grave whose occupant died twenty years ago, he does not pray over it; because when the deceased died, this person was a newborn. But if a person who is twenty years old wants to pray over a grave that is thirteen years old, it is permissible; because when the deceased died, this man, who is now twenty years old, was seven years old and was of the age of prayer.
But when does he pray? He does not pray over the grave at the times of prohibition; because it is not one of the prayers with a cause, since a person can come at another time and pray over it,For example: If you go out to a funeral after the 'Asr prayer and you have not prayed over it, and you find that they have buried it, then you cannot pray over it. If you want to pray over it, come after Maghrib, or come in the Duha time, but at the times of prohibition, one does not pray over the grave.
