“There are three times during the day when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade us to offer the funeral prayer or bury our dead: When the sun has fully risen (until it is higher up in the sky), when it is overhead at noon until it has passed the meridian, and when it is starting to set until it has set.”  

سَمِعْتُ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيَّ يَقُولُ ثَلاَثُ سَاعَاتٍ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْهَانَا أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ فِيهِنَّ أَوْ نَقْبِرَ فِيهِنَّ مَوْتَانَا حِينَ تَطْلُعُ الشَّمْسُ بَازِغَةً وَحِينَ يَقُومُ قَائِمُ الظَّهِيرَةِ حَتَّى تَمِيلَ الشَّمْسُ وَحِينَ تَضَيَّفُ لِلْغُرُوبِ حَتَّى تَغْرُبَ  

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ placed a man in his grave at night, and he lit a lamp in his grave.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَدْخَلَ رَجُلاً قَبْرَهُ لَيْلاً وَأَسْرَجَ فِي قَبْرِهِ  

“Do not bury your dead at night unless you are forced to.”  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ تَدْفِنُوا مَوْتَاكُمْ بِاللَّيْلِ إِلاَّ أَنْ تُضْطَرُّوا  

“Offer the funeral prayer for your dead by night or by day.”  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ صَلُّوا عَلَى مَوْتَاكُمْ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ
