The Virtue of Praying over the Funeral

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if multiple funerals are present, is the reward the same for each? What is the ruling if I am praying the regular voluntary prayer (rawatib) when the funeral prayer is held?

Answer:
Praying over the funeral has a great virtue. It has a great virtue. Whoever prays over it receives one qirat. Whoever accompanies the funeral procession and attends the burial receives another qirat. Praying over the funeral has virtue. The qirat is like a great mountain, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. That is, its weight is like the weight of a great mountain. This is a great virtue. A Muslim prays over his Muslim brother’s funeral, or over the funerals if they are present, and he receives a reward for every prayer, and a qirat of reward for every prayer, like a great mountain with Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. No matter how many funerals there are.
