The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
If I have started a voluntary prayer or a regular voluntary prayer and the imam has begun the funeral prayer, do I interrupt the voluntary prayer and pray with the imam over the funeral?
The Shaykh:
No, you continue with the voluntary prayer. The Muslims present will pray over the funeral and that is sufficient. As for you, you have entered into an act of worship, so it is not permissible for you to interrupt it. Complete it.
