Offering Janazah Prayer in the empty place inside the graveyard

Q 1: Is it permissible to offer Janazah (Funeral) Prayer in the empty place inside the graveyard?


A: It is permissible to offer Janazah Prayer in the graveyard before burying the deceased. Yet if the deceased has been buried, it is permissible to offer Janazah Prayer over his grave since the Prophet (peace be upon him) performed Janazah Prayer over a grave. What is prohibited to be performed (Part No. 7; Page No. 254) in the graveyard is any Salah (Prayer) other than Janazah Prayer which is exceptional in this regard. It makes no difference whether they offer the Salah with the grave behind, in front of, or at their right or left side.
