What is the ruling on offering the funeral prayer for an infant girl who died more than sixty years ago and for whom the funeral prayer was not offered?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
The questioner is not obligated to pray over his sister who passed away a long time ago, because a prayer is not offered over a grave after the funeral prayer has already been performed before burial, unless the deceased was buried without a prayer. The offering of a prayer over a grave is permissible only if a long time has not passed.
