Repeating the funeral prayer for the deceased in the cemetery
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: You mentioned (may Allah preserve you) that the funeral prayer is an exception, and that it is permissible to pray it in the cemetery. The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a person to go repeatedly and pray over the deceased?
Answer:
Pray over him once. Who repeats the prayer over him? If he has prayed over him, that is sufficient and the objective has been achieved, so why would he repeat it?
