Question

What will be the time for Nafl prayer for our dead relatives?

Answer

There is no fixed time for this. One may perform nafl salaah at any time (provided it is not the forbidden times of salaah) and convey the reward to the deceased.

Note: The forbidden times of salaah are the time of sunrise, zawaal, sunset, after fajr till sunrise and after asr till sunset.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
