Praying over a funeral after burial, after the 'Asr prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A man entered the cemetery after the 'Asr prayer, and a funeral had already been prayed over and buried. Is it permissible for him to pray over this funeral after the burial? And is this time a time of prohibition in which the dead are not buried?
If you come to the cemetery and the deceased has been buried after 'Asr, do not pray over him.Due to the general practice of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): (There is no prayer after the 'Asr prayer until the sun sets) But you may pray over him at night or during the day of the following day.
As for praying over him before he is buried, there is nothing wrong with it; this is because praying over him before burial is a prayer that has a cause, and all prayers that have a cause are not subject to prohibition. Pray any prayer that has a cause whenever its cause is present, at any hour you wish, whether night or day.For example: If you enter the mosque after 'Asr, pray two rak'ahs. If you perform wudu' after 'Asr, pray two rak'ahs for the wudu'. If something happens to you and you wish to seek Allah's guidance in it, and it will pass before the end of the time of prohibition, pray two rak'ahs and seek guidance.
