In some mosques, funeral preparations are made and people pray over the deceased before the obligatory prayer?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In some large mosques, the deceased are prepared and then placed in the mosque to be prayed over after the obligatory prayer. During this time, people come and pray over the deceased before the obligatory prayer. What is the ruling on such an action?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. The prayer over the deceased does not have a specific time, as far as possible. So, the one who waits and prays with the congregation is better; he prays over the deceased after the congregation, after the congregational prayer. This is better. And the one who, for example, has work that requires him to go pray over the deceased and then leave, and prays the congregation in another mosque, yes.
