On Carrying the Funeral: Do We Prioritize the Car Because It Is Faster, or Do We Say Walking?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : After the prayer over the funeral. The funeral. The car.
Answer : No, no, carrying the funeral in a car is wrong unless there is a need, such as a shortage of mourners, severe cold, severe heat, or rain. Otherwise, it is carried on the shoulders; this is the sunnah (recommended practice), so that the mourners may benefit and so that it serves as a lesson to those who pass by, and so that the manner of carrying it is not made like that of weddings and feasts. However, if there is a need, there is no harm. Yes.
