Sunan Ibn Majah 1519 (Book 6, Hadith 87) #30871
Times to Avoid Funeral Prayers and Burial

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) forbade offering funeral prayers and burying the dead during certain times of the day.

'Uqbah bin 'Amir Al-Juhani said: "There are three times during the day when the Messenger of Allah 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".
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ رَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُلَىِّ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ، سَمِعْتُ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيَّ، يَقُولُ: ثَلاَثُ سَاعَاتٍ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ يَنْهَانَا أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ فِيهِنَّ أَوْ نَقْبِرَ فِيهِنَّ مَوْتَانَا حِينَ تَطْلُعُ الشَّمْسُ بَازِغَةً، وَحِينَ يَقُومُ قَائِمُ الظَّهِيرَةِ حَتَّى تَمِيلَ الشَّمْسُ، وَحِينَ تَضَيَّفُ لِلْغُرُوبِ حَتَّى تَغْرُبَ

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, taught us that there are three times during the day when it is forbidden to offer funeral prayers or bury our dead. These times are when the sun has fully risen until it is higher up in the sky, when it is overhead at noon until it has passed its meridian, and when it is starting to set until it has set. This teaches us that we should respect these times of day by not performing funerals during them as a sign of reverence for Allah's creation. We should also remember that death can come at any time so we must always be prepared for this eventuality by living our lives according to Islamic teachings.
