Cutting off a voluntary prayer to catch the funeral prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. I was in the Makkah Haram, and we finished the prayer. After that, I stood to perform the regular voluntary prayer (rawatib). Then I stood to perform the regular voluntary prayer, and then the call was made for the funeral prayer. Is it permissible for me to cut off the voluntary prayer to catch the funeral prayer?
Answer:
Yes, complete the voluntary prayer briefly. If you catch any part of the funeral prayer, pray the remaining part. Complete it after they finish their taslim, in the manner of the funeral prayer. If they have already started, your prayer does not benefit the funeral prayer.
