Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The funeral prayer.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Praying after the burial of the deceased.
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : The funeral prayer.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : One day after his burial.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : It is permissible.
The Shaykh : There is nothing wrong with that.
The questioner : And does it have a preference for a specific time...?
The Shaykh : It is permissible to pray over the grave after one day, two days, one month, two months, one 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 man who is twenty years old wants to pray over a grave of someone who died twenty years ago, does he pray or not? He does not pray, because when the deceased died, this man was just a newborn. If a man who is twenty years old wants to pray over a grave that is thirteen years old, is it permissible or not? When the deceased died, how old was this man who is twenty? He was seven years old, which is of age to pray. But when does he pray? He does not pray during the prohibited times. In the prohibited times, one does not pray over the grave because it is not among the prayers with a cause. Indeed, a person can come at another time and pray over it. It is known that, for example, if you go out to a funeral after the 'Asr prayer and you had not prayed over the deceased, and you find that they have already buried him, then you cannot pray if you want to pray over him. Wait until after Maghrib, or wait until the Duha time. But in the prohibited times, one does not pray over the grave. Yes.
