What is the ruling on hastening the burial of the deceased? And what is the ruling on the funeral prayer and burial during the disliked times?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : When the deceased is shrouded and prepared for burial, and before he is buried, if he is left in a room... so that Satan does not know about him; does this statement have any basis?
The Shaykh : This is the talk of the common people; Allah has not sent down any authority for it. It has no basis in the Sunnah.
The questioner : It has no basis, meaning, if he is left alone in the room...
The Shaykh : But, but here there is a violation, which is the delay in hastening; because it is supposed that as soon as they finish shrouding and preparing him, he should be placed in the coffin, carried on the shoulders, and they should hasten to bury him; due to his saying (peace be upon him):.
The questioner : No, sometimes the time is at night... Fajr.
The Shaykh : No problem, I mean, if it is, I say here there is a failure in hastening, but if there is an excuse.
Another questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : No, this is not permissible.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : It is not permissible.
The questioner : It is not permissible to wait...
The Shaykh : Not at all.
The questioner : Praying for him during the time of prohibition.
The Shaykh : And this, yes?
Another questioner : Praying for him during the time of prohibition.
The Shaykh : Praying for him during the time of prohibition. Here, the ruling concerning the funeral prayer differs from prayer during the disliked times. The funeral prayer is prayed at any time, but burial is not performed during the disliked times. The deceased is not buried during the time of dislike when the sun is rising, when it is setting, and when the sun is standing in the middle of the sky. As for the prayer, it is prayed because it is one of the prayers with a cause, and every prayer that has a sudden, incidental cause, this cause negates the dislike of prayer during the disliked times. As for burial, it is reported in "Sahih Muslim" from the hadith of 'Uqbah ibn 'Amir al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He forbade burying the dead during the three times."

Either she is righteous, in which case you are presenting good to her, or she is not righteous, in which case you are removing evil from your necks.
