Question:
The questioner says: A person missed the first takbir of the funeral prayer. How does he complete the prayer?
Answer:
Yes. The takbir he caught up with the imam is considered the first, and he continues with the imam. When the imam concludes the prayer, he completes the remaining takbirs, just as one who joins the prayer late does in the obligatory and voluntary prayers. What he catches up with the imam is the beginning of his prayer, and what he missed, he makes up after, or completes what he missed after the imam’s taslim. Yes.
