The ruling on praying over a funeral in the cemetery
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We received a message from the listener (M. M. H.) from Riddwan in Syria. He asks: Is it permissible to pray over a funeral in the cemetery?
Answer:
Yes, funerals are prayed over in mosques, prayer halls, and cemeteries; there is no harm in that. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sometimes prayed over a funeral in the mosque, and sometimes in the prayer hall, and he used to pray over the grave. Praying over the grave is of the same kind as praying over the funeral. So if they bring it to the cemetery and pray over it, there is nothing wrong with that. And if it has already been buried, they pray over the grave. Yes.
