Ruling on Delaying the Funeral Prayer

Q: If a person has had an impact on Islam, is it permissible to delay his funeral prayer by a day, for example?

A: If the delay is for a benefit, there is nothing wrong with it, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was delayed, for he died on a Monday and was not buried until the night of Wednesday. So if there is a benefit, such as the arrival of his relatives or something else, there is nothing wrong with it.
