Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The Honorable Shaykh, he says: Some mosques hold funeral prayers for the deceased daily. Is it permissible for me to go there to pray over the funeral? The deceased daily. Is it permissible for me to go to pray over the funeral there, and leave the prayer in my mosque until it is done?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it, provided you are not the imam of the mosque or the mu'adhdhin. If you are the one responsible for the mosque, there is nothing wrong with it. You go and pray over the funerals to obtain the reward. You follow them to the graveyard to obtain the reward. This is a good thing. If your going does not result in the loss of the imamah or the loss of the adhan, there is nothing wrong with it. It is a good thing.
