Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: What is the ruling on interrupting a voluntary prayer in order to catch the funeral prayer?
Answer:
Do not interrupt a voluntary prayer for the sake of a voluntary prayer. The funeral prayer is a voluntary prayer, so do not interrupt the voluntary prayer you have entered into. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:[Muhammad 47:33-34] If you have entered into it, complete it. You only interrupt a voluntary prayer for the sake of an obligatory prayer. If the call to prayer is made and you are in a voluntary prayer, you interrupt it for the obligatory prayer. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 421Sahih (Darussalam) As for interrupting a voluntary prayer for the sake of a voluntary prayer, that is not permissible. Yes.
