The ruling on one who enters the mosque to pray over the dead and leaves without praying the obligatory prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Some people enter the mosque to pray over the dead and then leave, having already prayed the obligatory prayer, and they hear the iqamah. Does this fall under the hadith
When the Iqamah has been called for the Salat then there is no Salat except the obligatory.إذا أقيمت الصلاة فلا صلاة إلا المكتوبة؟
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 421Sahih (Darussalam)


The Shaykh:
What is the man saying?

The questioner:
He says: Some people enter the mosque to pray over the dead.

The Shaykh:
Meaning, the prayer over the dead is more important than the obligatory prayer. Yes.

The questioner:
Then they leave, having already prayed the obligatory prayer, and they hear the iqamah.

The Shaykh:
This is not acceptable. If he is present, he prays with the Muslims; he prays the obligatory prayer and prays over the dead, and he does not leave the Muslims. This is ignorance.
